After Parma scored, Perugia suddenly became nervous and began to launch a crazy attack on Parma's goal.

However, Parma's defense was very solid, which made Perugia have no good solution for a while.

Head coach Apolloni also signaled the players to hold on first and keep the advantage until the end of the first half!

So the players executed his tactical arrangement well.

Soon, the first half ended and Parma led Perugia 1-0 away.

The Parma fans who came to the away game were very excited. They kept singing during the halftime break to express their joy.

However, the fans in the Parma locker room were not as excited as they were now, because they knew that Perugia would definitely counterattack in the second half.

So Apolloni arranged the next tactics with the players during the halftime break.

He decided to focus on defensive counterattacks in the second half, and hoped to focus on recovering the defense line in the first fifteen minutes of the second half.

He knew that the opponent would attack crazily in the first fifteen minutes, so he hoped that the players would survive these fifteen minutes.

After listening to his tactical arrangement, Matteo felt a little conservative, because Parma's offensive strength was there, and perhaps they could continue to attack and try to score another goal.

But after all, he was the head coach, and now was not the time to question the tactics.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Sure enough, Perugia began to press forward frantically at the beginning of the game, and their goal was to equalize the score!

And the players of Parma followed the intention of the head coach and began to shrink and defend.

This made their scene suddenly fall into an extremely passive situation.

Matteo couldn't help looking at Apolloni on the bench, only to see that his right hand was unconsciously holding a pen, and it was obvious that he was still very nervous.

In the 53rd minute, Perugia's right winger Mustazio got a cross opportunity on the right, and he decisively kicked the cross.

The landing point of the ball was good, and there was a chaos in the penalty area.

Gatti headed the ball first when competing with the opponent's forward Carmine, but the ball did not go far and was still in the air above the penalty area.

Tonali judged the ball's landing point and prepared to jump to clear it, but the opponent's left winger Paja took the lead and headed the ball.

Colobato on the penalty area line took aim at the ball and shot it, but the ball was blocked by Rossi and flew to the side.

But the ball somehow fell to Diamanti's feet, and he did not hesitate and shot directly!

Insigne rushed up to block the hole, but the ball hit his open right arm!

The referee's whistle sounded, and his hand pointed firmly to the penalty spot!

Penalty!

Insigne's handball foul!

The whole Parma team was upset, and they surrounded the referee, arguing that it was an unintentional handball.

But this ball objectively blocked Diamanti's shot, and there was nothing wrong with the penalty!

The referee's penalty was very firm, and he was even ready to take out a yellow card to warn the Parma players.

In the end, Parma players gave up their protests under the persuasion of captain Karaiou, which meant that they had accepted the penalty.

Apolloni's expression on the sidelines collapsed, and he was in big trouble!

He regretted his decision at this time. If he hadn't kept the formation so flat, he wouldn't have been forced to attack continuously.

Now he can only hope that Vicario can save him once.

However, facing a penalty kick, which has a probability of scoring more than 75%, he can only leave it to fate if he wants the goalkeeper to save it.

At this time, not only him, but everyone focused their attention on Parma's penalty area.

The player who took the free kick for Perugia this time was Diamanti.

As the offensive core of the team, he naturally took the lead.

With the referee's whistle, he ran up, kicked, and shot!

This ball was a half-high ball, and this kind of ball is exactly what the goalkeeper likes most!

Vicario made a save after seeing his shooting, but Diamanti's penalty was of very average quality. He reached out and saved the ball from going out of bounds!

After saving the penalty, Vicario jumped up excitedly and hugged his teammates who rushed over tightly!

Apolloni's heart trembled on the sidelines, and he suddenly relaxed.

At this moment, he just wanted to hold Vicario and kiss him!

The game continued.

Perugia was obviously greatly affected after missing the penalty, and Apolloni finally chose to be brave. He waved his hand and let Parma's boys rush forward!

At the same time, he also replaced Karaiou with Mateo, ready to take this opportunity to score another goal!

In the 63rd minute, Rossi intercepted it in the midfield, and heAfter glancing at the front court, he chose to kick the ball to Mateo.

Mateo judged the landing point of the ball while moving forward. He jumped high and headed the ball to Insigne on the right.

After receiving the ball, Insigne immediately rushed forward with the ball. He was awarded a penalty kick just because of his own reasons. At this time, he wanted to make up for it in his own way!

The opponent's left back Gemoni wanted to stop him, but he was thrown away by him with a change of direction!

On the other side, Di Gaudio and Mateo also rushed into the penalty area at the same time, ready to receive Insigne's cross.

After Insigne reached the edge of the penalty area, facing the defense of central defender Belmonte, he directly chose to kick the ball to the middle!

But this time he did not send it to the penalty area, but chose an inverted triangle pass and handed it to the penalty area line!

At this time, Mateo had already rushed over, he drew his bow and arrow, and directly chose to push the ball!

The football rushed towards the dead corner of the goal along the ground!

Goalkeeper Rosati stretched his body to the limit, but the angle of the ball was too tricky, and he couldn't touch the ball at all!

The football rubbed the goal post and flew into the goal!

2-0, Parma expanded its lead!

And this is the punishment for Perugia's missed opportunity!

If the penalty kick just now was scored, the situation would be completely different!

Diamanti hung his head after losing the ball, and his mind was filled with regret.

Sometimes it's like this on the football field. You only get one chance. If you can't grasp it, don't blame your opponent for punishing you!

As soon as this goal came out, the suspense of the game was immediately dispelled by more than half.

Although Perugia's head coach Roberto Breda continued to make substitutions in the hope of equalizing the score, Perugia's players seemed to have lost their morale and no longer posed any threat to Parma's goal.

Finally, with the referee's whistle, the game ended.

Parma beat Perugia 2-0 away from home, and they managed to overcome this tough challenge!

This also extended their winning streak in the league to four games!
