No goals, no glory! Parma and Genoa played out a 0-0 draw at the Ennio Tardini Stadium in a match that failed to ignite excitement.
Edoardo Corvi emerged as the standout player of the encounter. The Parma goalkeeper displayed impressive skills, making five crucial saves to keep a clean sheet.
Lorenzo Colombo also made his presence felt on the field, as the Genoa forward tested the Parma defense with five shots on target, although none found the back of the net.
Parma’s coach, Carlos Cuesta, opted for a 4-3-3 formation, fielding Edoardo Corvi between the sticks; with Enrico Delprato, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, and Emanuele Valeri forming a solid backline; Adrián Bernabé, Lamine Keita, and Nahuel Estévez operated in midfield; while Jacob Ondrejka, Mateo Pellegrino, and Gaetano Oristanio led the attack.
On the other hand, Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, featuring Nicola Leali as the goalkeeper; Alessandro Marcandalli, Leo Östigard, and Johan Vásquez in defense; a midfield composed of Stefano Sabelli, Morten Frendrup, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Mikael Ellertsson, and Aarón Martín; and Vítor Oliveira alongside Lorenzo Colombo up front.
Referee Luca Pairetto officiated the match at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.
