Cagliari had a strong first half, going into halftime with Parma tied 0-0. The Rossoblù dominated the game for long stretches, though the best chance fell to the Ducali with a miraculous save from Caprile on Pellegrino.
Cagliari played a 3-5-2 and Liteta returned after three months since his last appearance . Kılıçsoy immediately hit the post, but was clearly offside. The Turk, however, produced a brilliant move in the 9th minute, skipping past an opponent in the box and firing with his left foot, only to be saved by Corvi. Esposito pounced on the rebound, but Delprato blocked it in the center of the box.
Cagliari got off to a good start, with Parma struggling to hold on to striker Pellegrino , who made his mark in the 13th minute with a header wide from a corner. A minute later, Ordóñez attempted a weak shot, but it went wide. In the 17th minute, the Gialloblù protested mildly after a clash between Britschgi and Liteta. Referee Massimi allowed play to continue, but there wasn't much to justify the penalty call.
The first yellow card came in the 21st minute, following a foul by the returning Rodríguez on Keita, who had skipped past him. Three minutes later, Esposito broke free on the edge of the box to take a shot: it went over. Shortly after the half-hour mark, in the 33rd minute, Palestra skipped past two advancing opponents, but Keita's return to the box managed to block the number 2's attempt: it was a corner, which Cagliari failed to capitalize on .
The best chance of the first half came in the 39th minute, but it came from a corner that Cagliari couldn't get, thanks to a clear deflection by Troilo on Sulemana's long-range shot. Parma broke back and the ball fell to Pellegrino in the penalty area, who brilliantly headed the ball past Zé Pedro and fired a left-footed shot from the penalty spot: Caprile did a fantastic job in preventing the score from being 1-0 . Before the corner, which was unsuccessful, Dossena was booked for protesting (he was asking for the previous corner).
Cagliari again in the 42nd minute, Kılıçsoy enters the box from the left and crosses to Corvi, who again blocks with his foot. Then, as the move continues, Esposito falls in the box, but Massimi maintains his lead.
