Milan dominated much of the game, but Parma held off their attacks for the most part. Gila put Parma ahead in the second half on their first real chance, and they looked like they could play sufficient enough defense to that point to look as if they were going to hold on to win it.
Then in the last ten minutes, the game shifted. Milan poured it on. Kaka got an equalizer. Parma had a couple of opportunities to retake the lead on counterattack, and then Pirlo took advantage of some pinball activity off of some nice Frey saves to score the game winner. After that, it looked like Milan was going to pour on a third.
Parma's roof seemed to cave in late in this match.
