Milan-Parma 3-2
The guests start well and in the 24th minute they find the deserved lead with Cancellieri's curling shot. Milan responds immediately, but in the 28th minute Morata's goal for 1-1 is disallowed for offside. The equalizer comes shortly after when in the 35th minute Pulisic converts the penalty caused by Suzuki's foul on Pavlovic. A few minutes before the end of the first half, Reijnders tries, but the Gialloblu goalkeeper saves.
The second half was full of chances. In the 54th minute Hernani grazed the crossbar with a shot from outside and in the 60th minute Reijnders tested Suzuki again. The Dutchman was close to scoring again in the 71st minute, but a minute later Almqvist had the chance to score the lead, but the Rossoneri goalkeeper responded. Parma took the lead in the 80th minute when Del Prato tapped in after Maignan's miracle on Camara. The Rossoneri equaliser came momentarily with Pavlovic, but it was disallowed for offside and then with Reijnders who in the 92nd minute made it 2-2, this time all good. At the very last gasp Chukuweze deflected Pavlovic's header with his knee and fooled Suzuki, giving away a victory that seemed to have vanished. It ended 3-2 for the home team.
Important victory for Milan, also for the way it came about, the Rossoneri remain in the game for a place in the top four.
Parma wastes everything, one step away from gaining 3 fundamental points in the key to salvation. Pecchia's team remains at +1 on the relegation zone waiting for the results of the opponents.
Udinese-Roma 1-2
In the first half, the Giallorossi became dangerous with a curling shot from new signing Rensch, but Sava was good at stretching out and saving. In the 38th minute, Udinese took the lead thanks to Lucca's shot that went under the crossbar.
The second half begins immediately with a penalty for Roma caused by a handball by Kabasele. Pellegrini converts for 1-1. The two teams try to find the goal of the lead, but in the 63rd minute it is another penalty for the guests. This time Dovbyk steps up to the spot and makes no mistake and makes it 1-2. Udinese never has the ball to equalize and in the last minute it is Mancini who has the opportunity to increase the lead but without finding the net. It ends 1-2 for the Giallorossi.
Roma who finds victory away from home after 9 months and now must prepare for the last Europa League match on Thursday and the big match with Napoli.
Udinese remains in mid-table with 26 points and will face Venezia at home next matchday.
