A physical and evenly balanced contest at the Tardini ends scoreless, with Cuesta and De Rossi settling for a point apiece on Matchday 21.
Parma and Genoa shared the points in a goalless draw at the Stadio Tardini, a result that reflected a tight, hard-fought match and left the relegation race wide open. Played under heavy rain, the game was marked by intensity, physical duels, and strong defensive performances rather than clear-cut chances.
Genoa started the match with greater initiative and enjoyed the better of the first half, pushing Parma back and testing Edoardo Corvi on several occasions. The Parma goalkeeper was decisive, standing firm against Colombo and keeping the score level with a series of timely interventions.
Parma grew into the game after the break, raising their tempo and spending more time in the opposition half. However, Genoa’s back line responded well, with Leo Østigård repeatedly shutting down Pellegrino and preventing the hosts from building sustained pressure. On the right flank, Stefano Sabelli stood out with an energetic and disciplined second-half display.
Despite a few isolated moments and plenty of commitment from both sides, clear scoring chances were scarce. The two defenses ultimately dictated the rhythm of the match, neutralizing attacking threats and ensuring that neither goalkeeper was seriously troubled late on.
The final 0-0 draw felt fair given the balance of play, with each team enjoying spells of control in one half. While neither Parma nor Genoa found the breakthrough they were hoping for, the point keeps both sides firmly in the fight as the battle for survival in Serie A continues.
