Parma 2-0 Roma: Giallorossi fall in the second half

The Giallorossi, bringing to an end an intensive run of seven games in 22 days, looked tired at points in the match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini - but were well in the contest before Sprocati's strike shortly after the hour-mark changed the complexion of the match.

Parma goalkeeper Luigi Sepe made a number of fine saves throughout the match - particularly from Javier Pastore and Nicolo Zaniolo - while Aleksandar Kolarov hit the post.

But Paulo Fonseca's men were left disappointed, especially after Cornelius struck on the counter-attack in the closing stages.

Roma are back in action in two weeks, as Brescia come to the Stadio Olimpico.
