Serie B: Parma-Benevento 0-1, Forte decides. Vazquez gets a penalty saved

Parma doesn’t raise its head. Forte’s goal in the middle of the first half and a super Paleari are enough for Benevento to conquer the success which, pending the other scheduled matches, allows Fabio Cannavaro’s team to leave the playout area in a very short ranking. Pecchia, on the other hand, cannot be satisfied, with only one point won in the last three games.

The match

The rhythms are immediately quite intense. Improta tries a mid-air back-heel in the 17th minute on Schiattarella’s suggestion that doesn’t worry Chichizola. However, the goalkeeper of the Emilians was unable to do anything three minutes later, when Farias ran away to the left and served Forte in the center of the area, good at burning his marker in time and shooting at the far post. The bad news didn’t end for Parma, which shortly after lost Mihaila due to injury. However, the opportunity to equalize is the best: a touch of the hand of Masciangelo is reviewed in the Var by the referee Gariglio, who awards the penalty. Thus in the 34th minute Vazquez appears from the penalty spot, Paleari senses and rejects, then also opposes the tap-in by Inglese who tries again with his head and hits the post. Before the interval, Letizia suffered a serious injury after a dispute with Bernabé. In the second half there are very few emotions. A cross shot by Vazquez, rejected by Paleari at the start of the second half, was the most significant occasion. The forcing does not produce the desired results, not even when for the last ten minutes Benevento remains in ten for the direct red light shown to El Kaouakibi (again after an on-field review) for a serious foul play.
