Elmas and Adams not enough: Torino retaken twice by Parma
Parma-Torino 2-2
The challenge between Parma and Torino, valid for the 28th day of Serie A, ends with a pyrotechnic 2-2. At the "Ennio Tardini" Stadium, in fact, the guests went ahead in the score twice, but the hosts were able to retake the result thanks to Pellegrino’s double.
Two minutes passed and Biraghi on a corner kick action grazed the’cross. Vogliacco is cautioned at the ‘12 for a foul on Adams at the edge of the area and subsequent free kick deflected into the corner by the barrier. At ‘18 Elmas received the ball on the left, went to the middle and sent a diagonal shot that touched the post and went into the net: great goal.
Parma tries, as much as it can, to set up actions but Bonny and Almqvist are always poorly and poorly served. At ‘35 Valenti was cautioned for a block on a restart, while play continued to be lacking. Only a minute from the end did the Ducals go close to equalizing: on a corner kick first Milinkovic saves on the Swedish outside, then, on Bonny’s rebound, the ball è stopped on the line by a defender and finally, before ending up between the goalkeeper’s gloves, touches the crossbar.
In the second half, Parma upped the tempo and occupied the field more. The Toro defends neatly until, Mateo Pellegrino in the box, on Valeri’s cross from the left, finds the equalizer, also sealing his first goal in seria A. A joy that was short-lived because on the development of a free kick, Adams is freed in the area and with a precise left-footed shot beats Suzuki. Parma does not give up, pushes and on a corner kick, Pellegrino spizza header and equalizes: è double. Chivu’s boys at this point try to win, but fatigue sets in. A Parma with two faces equalizes a match that seemed compromised making Toro look stronger than è.
