Parma 1:1 Arezzo — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Mattia Sala’s equaliser earned Arezzo a 1-1 draw with Parma in a Club Friendly, the midfielder making himself the standout performer after Rachid Kouda had put the hosts ahead inside nine minutes. Neither side could find a winner in a contest that served as pre-season preparation for both, with Parma now set to face Iraklis 1908 in their next friendly on 2 August.

The game turned on two first-half strikes separated by 31 minutes. Kouda opened the scoring for Parma in the 9th minute with an unassisted finish, but Arezzo responded through Sala just before the break, the midfielder levelling matters in the 40th minute with a goal that gave his side a foothold after a nervy start. No cards or VAR interventions altered the flow, leaving the scoreline to stand at the interval.

Parma held 53% possession and won three corners to Arezzo’s six, but the numbers tell a story of a side that saw more of the ball without turning it into a winning advantage. Sala earned a 9.04 rating for his decisive goal and midfield presence, topping the charts on a day when his equaliser rescued a share of the spoils. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Arezzo, but the draw proved the prediction incorrect, as neither side could seize full control in a balanced friendly.
