Roberto Donadoni gave Fiorentina credit for fighting back with 10 men to hold Parma. “We had expected victory.”

The Ducali were 2-1 up after Modibo Diakite’s dismissal and apparently cruising to all three points when Mati Fernandez scored a fantastic free kick for 2-2.

“It’s a shame about the draw, as it was legitimate to expect the victory, but we must give credit to our opponents and to Mati Fernandez for that goal,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“My team did well, despite a start with too many mistakes. We are doing something very important this season. Antonio Mirante saved us many times, but he couldn’t do anything against an extraordinary free kick.”

Parma extended their club record unbeaten run to 13 rounds, even though they failed to catch Verona in sixth place.

“We treasure this result, as it keeps our positive streak going. We fought Fiorentina blow for blow, matching a team with great passing technique. Therefore we should enjoy this moment.

“Let’s keep going like this, take it one game at a time and eventually see where we end up.”

Donadoni also revealed why Daniele Galloppa was not even on the bench.

“His wife went into labour and Giacomo was born today. We are happy for him.”
