Coppa Italia Report: Juventus Cruise Past Parma

Parma 1-3 Juventus

A solid second half display from Juventus saw them pick up a comfortable win over Parma in their Coppa Italia clash

After a slow first half that failed to provide goals, Claudio Ranieri's boys responded with a much improved display in the second half, and were rewarded for it.

Cristian Molinaro, Sergio Almiron and Hasan Salihamidzic got themselves on the score-sheet as the Old Lady picked up a solid 3-1 win over Parma.

Paolo Castellini pulled one back, but it turned out to be nothing more than a consolation.

Whether it was or wasn't a penalty (technically it was, he pushed the player in the back), Zebina was out of position and allowed the player to get goalside. As soon as there is any contact when challenging from behind it will be a penalty, just like against Newcastle.

If a penalty is a good one the keeper won't save it. You can't expect goalies to save pens.

I panic whenever Boum or Zebina are on the pitch. They will almost almost make at least one big mistake. Boum was solid tonight for a change though.

Juve tear up the Tardini

Claudio Ranieri made a triumphant return to the Tardini, as Juventus knocked Parma out of the Coppa Italia 3-1.

The Coach, who saved the Gialloblu from almost certain relegation last season, took the opportunity to test out the new midfield partnership of Sergio Almiron and Tiago Mendes.

The former Chelsea man set up a good chance that Vincenzo Iaquinta turned over the bar and Nicola Pavarini parried a David Trezeguet strike.

Nicola Legrottaglie went off injured at the break and substitute Jean-Alain Boumsong nodded a free kick off target.

The deadlock was finally broken on 62 minutes and the scorer Christian Molinaro had been on the field for just 120 seconds!

Molinaro took the left-wing position and thumped in another of his trademark long-range strikes.

Parma fought back, forcing Gigi Buffon to save from Francesco Parravicini with an outstretched leg.

However, Almiron curled in a free kick to double Juve’s advantage at the Stadio Tardini.

Moments later the referee pointed to the spot for Jonathan Zebina’s foul on Igor Budan and Castellini converted to keep the game open.

It remained so until eight minutes from time, when Hasan Salihamidzic’s shot from the edge of the area took a vicious deflection to leave Pavarini stranded.

Juventus go through to the last 16 with a 3-1 victory, where they will face Empoli. The Tuscans have in their squad two Bianconeri-owned youngsters, Sebastian Giovinco and Claudio Marchisio.
