A hard-fought match with a surprising ending was played between Parma And Udinese at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. The ducals took the lead after just 2′ thanks to Delprato’s shot on a corner kick and doubled their lead in the first half in the 43rd minute with a pure striker’s move by Bonny. In the second half, however, the Friulians reacted, starting off strong with Lucca’s header in the 49th minute. Runjaic’s team continued to push, finding the equaliser with Thauvin’s strike after Davis’ header in the 68th minute. The lead goal was once again scored by Thauvin who, after Parma were left with 10 men due to Keita’s expulsion in the 73rd minute, resolved a melee in the 77th minute, making all the Bianconeri supporters explode with joy.
