Today’s Serie A matches both ended level. In the first match, that was played at 18:00, the derby match between Parma and Bologna ended 1-1. Prior to the match Parma were clear favorites for the 3 points but Bologna put on display a sturdy performance to hold on to a very important point. After only 10 minutes of playtime Bologna surprised Parma as they took the lead thanks to an inspired Panagiotis Kone. Their lead didn’t last very long as only 13 minutes later Antonio Cassano leveled the scoreline. The match became very nervous as nine yellow cards were given and Bologna ended the match in 10 following 2 yellow cards given to Frederik Sørensen. Frederik Sørensen’s suspension left Bologna with a man down for almost 40 minutes but Parma couldn’t take advantage.

In the other match, Genoa and Torino played an entertaining match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Omar El Kaddouri opened the score for Torino in the 7th minute. Genoa stayed calm and kept on playing their game. They were rewarded in the 69th minute as Davide Biondini leveled the match. After the equalizer both sides were more careful in not conceded another goal rather than pushing for a winning goal.
