Cagliari 1 : 1 Parma - Feltscher woe for Parma
Posted Sunday, May 22, 2011 by PA
A Rolf Feltscher own goal earned Cagliari a 1-1 draw at home to Parma in Serie A.
Valeri Bojinov fired Parma into a 34th-minute lead at the Stadio San Elia but Feltscher's unfortunate headed own goal 10 minutes into the second half meant the home side had to settle for a point.
Cagliari started brightly and young Parma goalkeeper Nicola Pavarini saved well to keep out shots from Daniele Ragatzu and Robert Acquafresca.
But Parma took the lead when Sebastian Giovinco led a swift counter-attack and picked out Bojinov, who swept a right foot shot past Islanders keeper Michael Agazzi.
Giovinco threatened a second goal on 37 minutes but his shot from a tight angle was well saved by Agazzi.
Acquafresca sent his close-range header high over the bar a minute from the break as Cagliari pressed hard for an equaliser.
Agazzi saved smartly again to deny Giovinco in first-half injury time.
Radja Nainggollan was off target with a diving header on 50 minutes from Michele Canini's cross.
But five later Cagliari were level when Feltscher's header from a Davide Biondini cross flashed into his own net.
Pavarini saved well from Massimo Gobbi as Cagliari pushed for a winning goal.
Six minutes from time Andrea Lazzari skied high over the bar after Acquafresca had carved out a half chance.
Parma threatened in the last minute but Agazzi comfortably saved Giovinco's left foot effort after Francesco Valiani's good work had given him a sight of goal.
