Parma, including the myth Gianluigi Buffon under sticks before being substituted at half-time, now squandered a 0-2 lead to lose 3-2 against Cagliari in a colorful first leg of the Serie B promotion playoff semifinals. On Saturday the lap crash at Ennio Tardini. In the other tie, Sudtirol beat Bari 1-0 at home before visiting them on Friday.
Buffon’s dream, at the age of 45, is to return the ‘calcio’ elite to Parma, where he made his professional debut in 1995. The team from the Emilia-Romagna region got parity on the way in the first half hour game with goals from Adrian Benedyczak (10′) and Simon Sohm (26′).
But the game started to go wrong at halftime when Buffon remained in the dugout with a muscle contraction. However, the scoreboard remained 0-2 until midway through the second half. Then the Angolan Zito Luvumbo, who arrived on the field after passing through the changing rooms, started the comeback by scoring from a volley (68′).

Parma surrendered after conceding two goals in the last five minutes. First up is the Peruvian international Gianluca Lapadula equalized with a penalty (85′) and Luvumbo completed the comeback with his second goal by shooting the Argentine Leandro Chichizola, in place of Buffon, after a dry cut (89′).
