Prato Lauro (RM), 20 May 2024 – Return match of the Round of 16 of the National Serie A & B Championship Under 16Sunday 19 May 2024, on the synthetic pitch of the sports centre “Green Club” of Prato Lauro (RM), Lazio-Parma ends 1-1, a score which, added to the 2-1 victory of the Crociati in the first leg seven days earlier on the pitch “2” in summary of the sports complex “The Walnut” in Noceto, determines their promotion to the Quarter Finals of the competition with Inter (first leg at home next Sunday 26 May 2024, second leg away the following one, 2 June 2024).
The team of Mister Simone Fusaro and assistant Giorgio Nughedu started a little tense, while the hosts tried to play the game and broke the deadlock with a penalty kick in the 27th minute: Simone Landini came on late on Vincenzo Zangari who then went on to spot kick for the conversion attempt, renewing the first leg duel with the ducal goalkeeper Andrea Karol Giardino, which was also won on this second occasion (1-0).
From that moment the Crusaders started to be more aggressive, playing the ball well, trying to create chances, but without building any real important ones. At half-time the biancazzurri return to the locker room with a narrow advantage.
In the second half, Parma started strong, creating even more than before and in the 7th minute, on an action that was a bit controversial because with an opponent on the ground (without them throwing the ball out or the director of the match, Mr. . Sebastian Petrov of the AIA section of Roma 1, stopped the game), a diagonal shot from the right by Francesco Arcuri turns into an assist for Andrea Muto who puts it into an empty net (1-1).
The yellow-blues will not risk anything again until the end, when a dangerous insertion by Francesco Reita becomes harmless for goalkeeper Andrea Karol Giardino thanks to the prodigious recovery of Djibril Diallo. Lazio will continue their attack, but without any particular opportunities to report, and so with the final 1-1 Parma gains passage to the Quarter Finals.
