Parma-Lecce 1-3, salvation strike for the Giallorossi

Parma, January 31, 2025 – The illusion of Parma to find the victory that chases away the crisis lasts just 2 minutes: it is the time that passes from the penalty converted by Valeri (handball punished baschirotto) to the draw of Kristovic, the best of his also thanks to his subsequent roles as an assistman. This is the story of the first half: in the second half, the one to benefit from two chocolates from the number 9 in yellow and red is Pierotti, who with a brace signs the hat-trick for the Lecce is worth a very important salvation blow, as demonstrated by the points haul in the standings which rises to 23. Instead, they remain at 20 lengths, and in the relegation zone, the dukes, highly contested by a Tardini who is now beginning to see witches, as well as probably a Pecchia never so unsteady on the bench. The treatment is working better and better, however. Giampaolo, that with her 4-3-3 all sprint in the restarts is starting to shape an increasingly flattering ranking for the Salento team.

The official lineups

Pecchia choose a 4-2-3-1 open from Suzuki, protected by Leoni, Want, Valenti e Valeri, in turn shielded by Keita e sohm: the only tip is Djuric, assisted by Chancellors, Haj Mohammad e Michael. Giampaolo reply with a 4-3-3 that he sees between the posts Falcone, with Guilbert, baschirotto, Jeans e Cock in defense and the trio Helgason Ramadani Pierret in midfield: up front it's up to Pierotti, Kristovic e Karlsson.

First half

Il Lecce part with more verve, with Karlsson to try the first initiative: then Suzuki lays down Kristovic, but started in an irregular position. The first blaze registered Parma and of Michael, whose cross was however cleared by the visiting defence. To see the first real chance of the match we had to wait until the 21st minute, when Michael a shot explodes from outside Falcone foils with the help of the post. At 23' the hosts repeat with Djuric, who turns in the area but finds the decisive opposition of baschirotto. The Parma attacks but the goal, in the 24th minute, is found by Lecce Kristovic, which, thanks to a deviation, ruins the suggestion of Karlsson, who had shortly before spoken with Helgason on the restart: everything is then ruined by the intervention of the Yes, who detects an offside position. At 29' the axis is repeated: Karlsson embroider again for Kristovic, who from an excellent position wastes. At 34' the hall returns to the fore Yes, which detects a handball in the penalty area baschirotto: on the diskette it goes Valeri, who with a strong and central conclusion mocks Falcone and blows up the Tardini. Just 2 minutes pass and the Giallorossi equalise with Kristovic, who heads the cross into the net HelgasonThe exchange continues with the Parma who came close to regaining the lead in the 38th minute with Michael, who engages in the second personal duel with Falcone, who once again wins it, punching away the conclusion. At 40' the third act of the saga develops from a free kick: the visiting goalkeeper, despite an almost mocking rebound, responds present in two times. The challenge, personal and general, of Michael ends here due to physical problems: in his place enters Bonny in the first of the 3' recovery time granted by the referee Dirty. At the last minute of extra time instead Falcone he is good at thwarting a very strong cross from Valeri, thus bringing the curtain down on the first half of the1-1.

Second half

Pecchia leave in the changing rooms Haj Mohammad, detected by CamaraThe first chance of recovery is signed by the Parma: it's the 50th and a big vertical percussion of Keita lancia Chancellors, whose straight attempt is rejected with da Falcone with a pinch of luck. Having escaped the great danger, even Giampaolo something changes: inside Dying e Coulibaly for Karlsson e Ramadan. Although real opportunities are lacking at this stage, the Parma try to gain ground, constantly stationing himself in the half of the field of a Lecce which however defends itself with order, not disdaining some counterattacks. Precisely in this way at 64' Lecce puts the arrow with Pierotti, which receives the filter of Kristovic, in turn launched at speed by Helgason, among the best of his. The countermoves of Pecchia are Hainaut for Valenti e Almqvist for Keita. However, there are no significant changes: the Lecce it is closed like a hedgehog and the Parma, despite the new form (a 4-2-4 very offensive), he finds no outlet and has to settle for a sterile ball circulation, at least until the 75th minute, when Djuric he heads the cross sohm without worrying however Falcone. The last change of Pecchia è Ondrejka, debuting in Serie A, to Chancellors. In the 77th minute everything happens in the home area: a cross from Cock sees Suzuki to come out empty-handed, with teammates unable to clear a ball that becomes red hot but still not lethal for the visiting forwards, in particular a little cynical Helgason, which therefore almost scored the knockout blow. At 80' Valeri he goes in search of a brace, but his conclusion is imprecise: on the other side the curling shot from Dying, which grazes the crossbar. In the 84th minute Bonny tries to light up for the first time in the match but, launched in depth, is caught offside. In the 89th minute a misunderstanding between baschirotto, Guilbert e Falcone gets the ball to Valeri, who shoots: the visiting goalkeeper redeems himself, deflecting the ball into a corner. The minutes of recovery are 4, to the third of which Pierotti he scores the hat-trick, as well as his personal brace with a diagonal right-footed shot (inexorably deflected by Leoni) on a pass from Kristovic, the best player on the pitch who gets his team's party started, as they take a very important victory in terms of salvation.
