At the Stadio “Ennio Tardini”, Parma, with Valentin Mihăilă playing full-time and Dennis Man substituted in the second half, beat Monza 2-1 at the bottom of the standings. The hosts scored through Hernani Azevedo Junior (56, penalty) and Lautaro Valenti (90+8), the latter scoring from the corner perfectly executed by Mihăilă. The visitors’ goal was scored by Pedro Pereira (85). Monza finished the match with one player less on the field after Pablo Mari saw the red card in the 54th minute. Man was replaced in the 72nd minute by Adrian Benedyczak. Parma is currently in 14th position with 18 points, Monza being the “red lantern”, 20th place, with 10 points.
“The liveliest of his team in moments of difficulty. He took action on his own and tried to create problems for Turati. In the end, he managed to pass decisively for the 2-1 goal, scored by Valenti”, was the characterization of Valentin Mihăilă in Tutto Mercatto Web, which scored him a 6. Dennis Man instead received a 5: “It wasn’t his best game: he only stood out sporadically, but he was stopped quite easily for the qualities he has.”
