Parma, 1 April 2024 - Parma’s return to the pitch after the international break: they created a lot but Catanzaro goalkeeper, Fulignati was equal to all of them. He made the difference on at least 6 occasions: in the first half, he saved from Man twice. In the second half, he could only watch as Sohm hit the crossbar (66’) and the follow-up effort from Man which was saved off the line. But he made a sensational save, diving low to stop Partipilo’s curling effort. And he was Catanzaro’s main man in their 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Biasci and Antonini. 

Next up, Parma face Sudtirol on Saturday 6 April.
