At 5:00 PM, Parma-Spezia kicked things off, then it was the turn of Verona-Venezia at 6:30 PM, while the clash between Como and Sassuolo closes out this Wednesday. At stake, as mentioned, is a ticket to face Bologna, Inter, and Fiorentina.

COMO - SASSUOLO 3-0

The city of Como is still dealing with the difficulties caused by the flood, but on the pitch, Cesc Fabregas's boys react with character and determination. The first half against Sassuolo is a real football lesson.

After just two minutes, Jesus Rodriguez scores his first goal in Italy, at the 24th minute Douvikas doubles the lead, and before the break, there’s even room for a brace from the talented 2005-born player.

A one-sided match that perfectly celebrates the Spanish coach’s 50th appearance on the bench. In the round of 16, they will now face Fiorentina under Pioli, already beaten in the last Serie A matchday.

VERONA - VENEZIA 0-0 (5-4)

After a first half without much excitement, the derby between Verona and Venezia was suspended due to weather conditions.

A heavy hailstorm, in fact, hit the Bentegodi, forcing the referee to send the teams back to the locker rooms in the 48th minute.

Even after the restart, the scenario didn’t change much. Minimal threats to either goal, and for the second game in a row, it went to penalties.

From the spot, the Venetians were perfect, converting all 5 penalties. For Hellas, only Ebosse missed, hypnotized by the always incredible Plizzari, while Lella converted the final penalty and gave his Venezia the match against Inter.

PARMA - SPEZIA 2-2 (4-3)

Everything happened in the first half between Parma and Spezia. In the 26th minute, the home side took the lead with Britschgi, a Swiss defender born in 2006, who celebrated his debut with the Ducali by unlocking the match with a great volley following a corner kick.

Spezia responded just before halftime with Aurelio, who surprised the Parma defense and leveled the match. The visitors’ joy, however, was short-lived: in stoppage time, Pellegrino headed in the goal to make it 2-1 for the moment.

The second half was uneventful until the 80th minute, when a red card for 2007-born Plicco left the home side with 10 men for the final minutes and changed everything. The visitors took advantage, and seven minutes from the end, Lapadula grabbed the equalizer, sending the match to penalties.

From the penalty spot, Parma prevailed: mistakes by Soleri and Lapadula proved fatal, while Suzuki’s save and the winning goal by Ordoñez were decisive. The Ducali clinch their ticket to the round of 16: awaiting them will be Italiano’s Bologna.
