In Bari it ends 1 to 1! Parma celebrates their return to Serie A with two rounds to spare!

It ends in a draw at San Nicola di Bari and Parma can celebrate their return to the top flight, moving to +7 from Venezia with only two days remaining in the championship. At the start of the second half Bonny broke the deadlock with a precise shot to the far post, then a Eurogoal from DI Cesare brought everything back to parity and the two teams went one-to-one until the ninetieth minute. Parma celebrates their return to Serie A, Bari takes an excellent point in the race for salvation.

FIRST HALF WITH FEW EMOTIONS – Initial study phase at San Nicola, with Parma and Bari more careful not to make mistakes than to hit. The first opportunity is for the hosts with Nasti who collects a short clearance from Circati and shoots from 40 meters finding the response from Chichizola. Then Parma goes up, with conclusions first from Hernani and then from Bernabè. At the half hour mark Mihaila takes the lead, kicking first from outside the area and then from a free kick, almost hitting the net, but the biggest opportunity comes right at the feet of the Romanian after a response from Pissardo on Bonny, but Mihaila doesn’t find the right one impact with an empty net. The last thrill is at the feet of Partipilo who shoots just over, so the first half ends 0-0.

BONNY UNBLOCKS IT, DI CESARE PUT IT BACK TO EQUALITY – Parma starts off strongly in the second half, with a conclusion from Bernabè after a few seconds, but it is only the prelude to Bonny’s goal: he recovers the ball in the midfield, Partipilo finds Bonny who controls and shoots around the far post where Pissardo cannot reach. The pace of the Crusaders drops but just when the yellow and blues seem to be in full control of the match, Di Cesare invents a spectacular goal from outside the area that leaves Chichizola no chance. The pace drops further, with Parma giving the feeling of being content with a draw and Bari no longer trying to sting in the final minutes. Four minutes of injury time, without particular emotions and of total management, then the joy of the Crociati explodes together with all the Crociati fans who arrived at San Nicola
