Parma
Genoa
Outstanding performance
Parma•DefenderParma and Genoa played out a tense goalless draw in a match defined more by defensive grit than attacking flair. The encounter was marred by numerous yellow cards as both sides struggled to find rhythm in what became an increasingly fractious affair. Five bookings across the 90 minutes highlighted the physical nature of proceedings, with defenders Jacob Ondrejka, Lautaro Valenti, Alessandro Circati, Leo Østigård, and Vitinha all cautioned for fouls and dissent. Both managers made multiple substitutions in search of a breakthrough, but neither side could find the cutting edge needed to break the deadlock, leaving both teams to share the points in a result that does little to ease relegation concerns for either club.
