Serie A; Parma-Fiorentina

Serie A, Parma vs nine-man Fiorentina: 2-2

FLORENCE, ITALY – Parma has shared a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina in their Serie A match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. Matias Fernandez’s stunning free kick saw Champions League-chasing Fiorentina snatch a 2-2 draw at Parma.

Antonio Cassano fired Parma in front six minutes from halftime after Amauri’s pull-back was deflected into his path. Fiorentina drew level two minutes later when Juan Cuadrado slid in at the back post, slotting home Alessandro Matri’s cross.

Former Fiorentina forward Amauri restored Parma’s lead six minutes after the break with a penalty after Nenad Tomovic fouled Jonathan Biabiany. Fiorentina’s hopes of getting something from the match appeared to evaporate when Modibo Diakite was sent off for a second booking two minutes later.

With five minutes left to play Fiorentina leveled the scores for the second time, as Matias Fernandez curled in a free kick. Gianni Munari and Borja Valero were sent off in stoppage time.
