A match with a very high difficulty coefficient but full of charm and additional motivation for the rosanero team in search of the first victory of the new technical management.

Yellow for Osorio on one side and Diakité on the other. First half ends in a draw after three minutes of injury time.

Chance Parma, verticalization for Charpentier who surprises the pink defense, the diagonal of the Ducale attacker ends up wide. Changes from the bench, Sohm on for Mihaila at Parma. Mignani launches Trorè and Segre for Mancuso and Henderson. Another Palermo opportunity, Di Francesco crosses well but Buttaro chews the shot to the far post. Warning for Bernabè who lands Segre launched on the restart. Pecchia recalls Benedyczack and launches Hernani. So Man leaves the field for Ansaldi.
