Parma achieved a crucial victory by defeating Bologna 2-0 in Serie A, reaching 20 points and leaving the eighteenth position in the standings. Bologna, meanwhile, remains in the fight for European qualification spots with 41 points.
In another match of the day, Venezia and Lazio drew goalless, leaving the home team in the nineteenth position with 17 points.
Parma's victory at the Ennio Tardini stadium ended a negative streak of seven matches without a win. The goals of the match were scored by Ange-Yoan Bonny from a penalty in the first half and Simon Sohm with a great counterattack in the second half.
Although Bologna dominated the game and created more offensive situations, they lacked effectiveness in the final third. Parma, on the other hand, was decisive in their opportunities and showed defensive solidity to withstand their rival's attempts.
The team managed by Cristian Chivu urgently needed the victory to distance themselves from the relegation zone and managed to secure three points against a Bologna side that arrived at the match with ten unbeaten games. Currently, Bologna is in fourth place in the championship with 47 points, but they could lose it if Juventus wins their corresponding match.
