Parma 2 - 2 Juventus
Gasbarroni pen 42 (P), Pisanu 57 (P), Legrottaglie 75 (J), Iaquinta 82 (J)
Stadio Tardini
Juventus completed an extraordinary comeback from 2-0 down to earn a point at the Tardini in this ill-tempered encounter with three red cards.
Claudio Ranieri returned to the stadium that made him a hero last season when he salvaged Parma from almost certain relegation. There was no time for sentiment, as Juve needed maximum points to keep up the pressure on leaders Inter. Fernando Couto and Pavel Nedved were suspended.
The Gialloblu's last win in this fixture was a 1-0 result in March 2002, followed by two draws and as many defeats. There was a subdued atmosphere after the tragic death of a Lazio fan this morning, accidentally shot by a police officer during an apparent brawl with Juventus supporters in a motorway service station.
Stefano Morrone and Andrea Pisanu turned headers off target as Parma got off to a good start. Nicola Legrottaglie nodded wide from a corner kick for Juve.
Gianluigi Buffon needed to keep his wits about him to rush out and spread his body to parry Reginaldo's smart shot from point-blank range.
The referee pointed to the spot for a soft penalty when Reginaldo tried to squeeze between two defenders, Cristiano Zanetti seeming to clip his trailing leg. Juventus youth product Andrea Gasbarroni stepped up and buried a powerful spot-kick under the crossbar to beat Buffon.
Vincenzo Iaquinta replaced the quiet Alex Del Piero at half-time, but the Gialloblu certainly did not sit back and defend, as Under-21 international Luca Cigarini fired over from the edge of the area.
Parma doubled their advantage on 57 minutes. Gasbarroni was again involved, his run wreaking havoc down the right before Pisanu's chest and strike at the back post, avoiding Zdenek Grygera.
One of the first real shots on target from Juve came from Mauro Camoranesi to sting Luca Bucci's palms and from the resulting corner Nicola Legrottaglie nodded wide.
Morrone failed to make the most of a promising counter-attack, while Bucci tipped a Tiago Mendes lob over the bar.
Juventus finally got a foothold in the game 15 minutes from time, as Legrottaglie rose to get a flicked header on to Tiago's free kick, turning it in at the near post from nine yards.
The tension exploded at the Tardini with two red cards. Domenico Morfeo had been on the field for all of 30 seconds when he got involved in a scuffle with Giorgio Chiellini. The Juve defender came in with a sliding tackle and Morfeo appeared to grab his neck in retaliation. The Parma player was so angry he had to be held back by several of his teammates.
It didn't knock Juve off their stride, as Iaquinta completed the comeback at full stretch to tap in Hasa Salihamidzic's cross touched on by David Trezeguet. Iaquinta was being held back by Ferdinand Coly at the time, but still managed to get the final touch in.
Coly also saw red for going through the back of Cristiano Zanetti in quite a harsh decision. Juventus thought they had equalised in stoppages, but the referee disallowed the goal, as Iaquinta appeared to push Castellini.
