Despite everything today Radinovic has been superb for #Spezia today, he really does breed confidence and there was little he could do to prevent the #Frosinone goals #SpeziaFrosinone 🇮🇹⚪️🦅

FT: #Parma 2-1 #Hellas 💛💙🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Parma inevitably grab a 93rd minute winner. Heroic rearguard defence from 10-man Hellas but home side threw everything at it and eventually got the winner. Bernabe and Strefezza were outstanding but question marks again about another controversial red card. #serieA

🟨 MATCHDAY 🟥 ⏰ 20:45 ⚽️ Napoli Roma 🐺 DAJE ROMA DAJE!

HT: #Spezia 0-1 #Frosinone ⚪️⚫️🇮🇹🦅 The home side have defended well in general and only switched off for a moment but that was enough for Frosinone. Spezia dangerous on set pieces and there maybe opportunities to equalise coming in the second half. Desperately close minute before the breaks #LegaB

HT: #Parma 1-1 #Hellas 💛💙🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Despite conceding to a Bernabé wonder strike after 5mins and going down to 10 men 5 mins later, Harroiu’s 43rd min penalty even things up for Verona. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Bowie easing himself into Italian game - bundled down in the box after a great first touch for the penalty💪 #serieA
