The team from the capital tries to react immediately, but in the first minutes it is the Emilians who are more brilliant both in the aggression phase and in the ball management phase. In fact, in the 7th minute another great opportunity for the Parma team, this time it is super Marusic with its diagonal to prevent the attempt of Valeri. He even tries sohm in the 11th minute, but Mandas is attentive to block on his left, the powerful and well-aimed shot.

After the first quarter of an hour's swerve, where the Parma wins the first high intensity match, the Lazio tries to recover. The Biancocelesti grow and begin to put the visiting defence under stress. On the wings the Capitoline team finds plenty of space, but lacks precision when crossing or passing to the trailer, where the trailer is never found well. The Lazio team then tries to create space for themselves by shooting from the edge of the area, as rovella in the 26th minute, but rarely causes concern Suzuki. 

The signs of a growing Biancoceleste team are all there and in the 38th minute the chance to equalise would also arrive. Castilians in fact he scores on the perfect vertical suggestion of Marusic, but the beautiful sliding goal by the Argentine was rightly disallowed for offside by the Roman striker.

Second half

No changes at half-time, the teams resume with the same twenty-two protagonists of the first half on the pitch. And exactly as happened in the first half, the one who strikes coldly is the Parma. Ondrejka this time he does it all by himself, he receives the ball in midfield and continues his run on the left undisturbed until the edge of the penalty area. The Swedish player is lucky with the rebound and manages to kick with the inside of his foot towards the second post, beating once again an innocent player mandas, for the 0-2 of the dukes. The Olimpico was frozen once again, having tried to raise the decibels at the beginning of the half and instead conceded a goal after just 1' in the second half. Also cautioned Castilians a few minutes later for a frustrated tackle on Leoni.

La Lazio He still tries to react, but he seems at the mercy of the Parma and at 54' Pilgrim also wastes the chance to close the match. The Argentine striker in fact steals the ball from Crazy and he only throws himself in front of mandas, but he lets himself be hypnotized by the Greek goalkeeper. The Lazio goalkeeper was great on the occasion, very good at diving on his left, to stop the diagonal shot of the ducal player. Yellow card Leoni in the Parma house, Baroni in the 57th minute he looks for solutions from the match, the first is Pedro, who takes over from DayThe guests' response is entrusted to the decidedly more defensive entries of Djuric ed hernani for Pellegrini e Bonny. 

The Biancocelesti step on the accelerator and go hunting for the action or episode that can reopen the challenge. At 67' Pellegrini he is served very well in his insertion by Pedro's touch underneath, but the full-back doesn't manage the touch to get past Suzuki. The Japanese goalkeeper in fact finds himself with the ball in his hands after the attempt by the number 3 of the Lazio. Two minutes later, Isaksen tried his luck on a great pass from rovella. The Dane's touch on the far post is however thwarted this time by a super intervention by the Ducal goalkeeper. Nothing changes from the point of view of the result, but the changes continue: in Parma enter Balogh e Male, to Hainaut e Ondrejka, triple change instead for Lazio, with the entries of noslin, Tchaouna e Vecino, to Weather in Zaccagni, Isaac e rovella.

The newcomers are immediately dangerous, on both sides. First it is Male to kick hard towards the near post, forcing a rather difficult save mandas, which deflects over the crossbar. At home, however, it is Vecino to insert Benisismo in depth. The Uruguayan surpasses Suzuki, then he puts a strong shot into the penalty area, noslin but he fails to convert it into a goal by badly touching in front of the goal. Some grumbling from the Lazio fans, which almost lights up the Lazio team and allows them to close the gap. Shortly after the yellow card of hernani indeed, Pedro starts the Biancoceleste action with a cross from Pellegrini from the perfect three-quarter position for the insertion of TchaounaThe Frenchman shoots on the fly with his left foot, but it is super Suzuki to deflect the ball. However, the Spanish attacking midfielder arrives quickest on the rebound Lazio, who puts the ball under the crossbar with his left foot to make it 1-2 at the Olimpico.

The match enters its final ten minutes with a warning also for Djuric, do it to the detriment of Guendouzi. The Biancocelesti, however, insist and six minutes from the end, they also find the equaliser. Another cross from the left by Pellegrini and again Pedro, this time with his head, to place the ball on the far post where Suzuki It can't happen: it's 2-2 at the Olimpico, the Spaniard's brace drives the Olimpico crazy. Lazio still pushing, but in the final stages looking for a sensational turnaround. The first chance is for Guendouzi, whose right-footed shot is however deflected again by the opposing goalkeeper, who is careful to deflect it into a corner.

For the final suffering, Chivu relies on Lovi, who takes over from Valeri. Male has another chance in the five minutes of injury time, but his left-footed diagonal is wide. Lazio instead he puts many balls into the area, to try to find the winning goal, but it doesn't come.
