The match between Parma and Udinese ended in a goalless draw, with both teams having few scoring opportunities. The match, played at the Tardini, saw Udinese dominate the first half, but Parma tried to recover in the second, without managing to break the deadlock.
In the first half Udinese managed possession of the ball, while Parma struggled to find a rhythm of play. The first real opportunity came in the 6th minute with Zaniolo, who controlled the ball in the area and came close to the top corner with a powerful left-footed shot. Davis also tried to create danger, feeding Kamara, but his left-footed shot went just wide. Parma only had one chance in the 43rd minute, when Carboni headed Britschgi's cross, but the ball went just over the crossbar.
In the second half Udinese continued to create dangers, but Parma tried to increase the intensity. The first chance of the second half came in the 61st minute, when Davis touched the post with a shot in the area, but the referee awarded a penalty in the 68th minute after Abankwah touched the ball with his hand in the area. Bernabé, however, was able to neutralize Okoye's action, who stopped the shot. The episode gave confidence to Parma, who tried to increase the pace, but Udinese remained dangerous.
In the final, in the 84th minute, Ekkelenkamp had a scoring opportunity with a touch in front of goal, but Troilo saved on the line. Despite chances on both sides, the score remained 0-0 at the final whistle.
