Serie A | Parma 1-0 Pisa: Elphege gets safety party started

Emanuele Valeri rolled across the face of goal, but both Pellegrino and Enrico Delprato failed to make the most of it, then Pisa nearly scored on the counter from a Parma free kick, Filip Stojilkovic hitting the upright of an open goal after going one-on-one with Suzuki.

Vural went off with a knee injury, and Samuele Angori threw himself in the path of Nicolussi Caviglia on a Pellegrino lay-off.

The tempo dropped as the temperature went up in the afternoon sun, a weak Henrik Meister angled drive failing to trouble Suzuki, but Stefano Moreo skimmed the crossbar with a towering header on Angori’s cross.

Super-sub Nesta Elphege can’t seem to stop scoring at the moment and made an immediate impact off the bench for Parma. He gathered an Oliver Sorensen bouncing header with his back to goal from seven yards, turned and swept home.

Moments later, Elphege skilfully sent Emanuele Valeri down the left to force a tricky save from Semper, then Pellegrino’s header was straight at the goalkeeper.

If Verona beat Lecce this evening, then Pisa are mathematically relegated.
