The early match of Serie A’s 27th round between Parma and Cagliari ends 1-1. It was an intense and very fragmented game: the Sardinians took the lead in the second half thanks to a moment of brilliance from Folorunsho, but the Ducali responded with character and found the equalizer through Oristanio.
In the first half, there were chances, with the best opportunity falling to Parma’s Pellegrino in the 38th minute, when Caprile performed a miracle save on the Argentine striker with an unreal stop.
In the second half, Cagliari started strong and in the 63rd minute, Folorunsho, just on the pitch, made it 1-0 with a shot under the crossbar from a long distance. Parma didn’t give up and in the 83rd minute equalized, taking advantage of a series of rebounds before Oristanio’s decisive left-footed strike.
A point that moves the standings: fourth consecutive positive result for Parma, second draw in a row for Cagliari.
😱 Caprile SENSATIONAL: UNREAL save
39th MINUTE - The best chance of the first half came in the 39th minute. After a corner was denied to Cagliari for an obvious deflection by Troilo on Sulemana’s shot, Parma countered and Pellegrino found himself in the box: he controlled with his head, got past Zé Pedro, and struck powerfully with his left from a central position.
Parma’s hopes were dashed by a sensational intervention from Elia Caprile, who with a miraculous save denied a certain goal and kept the score at 0-0.
😵💫 Delprato KO and OUT
46th MINUTE - At halftime of Parma–Cagliari, Carlos Cuesta made two changes, including the forced substitution of captain Delprato. The defender, hit by a ball at the end of the first half, felt dizzy and the medical staff preferred not to take risks, opting for a precautionary substitution.
In his place came Gaetano Oristanio, with Parma reshaping their setup for the second half. The decision was solely due to the captain’s physical condition, which was monitored during the break.
😍 Folorunsho Sheva-style: FANTASTIC goal
63rd MINUTE - Just after coming on, Michael Folorunsho scored a stunning goal to put Cagliari ahead.
From a wide position, the midfielder saw Parma’s keeper Corvi slightly off his line and unleashed an unstoppable rocket that flew under the crossbar.
An incredible goal, probably one of the best in this Serie A season, which broke the deadlock and recalled Shevchenko’s goal in Milan-Juventus on December 19, 2001.
🎯 The FORMER strikes: Oristanio makes it 1-1!
Gaetano Oristanio scores the equalizer for Parma!
Carlos Cuesta’s team was rewarded for their persistence: Bernabé pushed the action forward with determination, a double rebound ensued, and the ball fell to Oristanio, who with his left foot placed a precise shot to the far post.
This time Caprile could do nothing: it’s 1-1, Parma never gives up and claws back the match with a goal from their former player.
🚑 Parma, one (and a half) INJURIES
A shocking finale for Parma, who first lost Valeri and then Troilo.
The former Cremonese player had to stop and was forced to ask for a substitution: Carboni came on in his place.
In stoppage time, Troilo left the field carried by his teammates because he couldn’t even walk. But surprisingly, a couple of minutes later he returned for the final moments of the match.
