After the altercation between Macella and two other players from Bologna F.C. the players of both teams head back to the pitch for the second half and the referee told them to change sides by doing a cross gesture.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are back and underway for the second half of the game between Parma C.F and Bologna F.C. Before the second half Bologna F.C had a brilliant first half, they scored two goals and didn't give a chance to Parma C.F to score. What do you think Aldo, Parma C.F gonna comeback or is Bologna F.C. again going to dominate the second half and seal their place in the first division of the Italian league this season?"
"To be honest, Gabrielle, I think it's all upon Bologna F.C right now, they have a two-goal lead and they can just do the same thing that they were doing in the first half of the game sit in a deep low block, defend well and hit on counters and if they manage to score the third goal then I think it's game over for Parma C.F and Parma C.F! I think they have to do something very special to come back in this game against this very rigid defence of Bologna F.C. However I think this going to be very tough Parma C.F to get back into this game."
"Well, I agree with you at some point Aldo, I think it is going to be very hard for Parma C.F. to get back into this game but let's see how they are going to react in the second half."
The ball was placed in the centre of the pitch for the kick-off of the second half and the players had taken their positions on the pitch. Fabio went to the centre of the pitch where the ball was placed to kick off the second half.
The referee placed the whistle in his mouth and blew the whistle to start the second half. Fabio passed the ball back to begin the play.
"And here we go the second half is started and Parma C.F. now has possession and they are looking to create something to get themselves back into this game," Gabrielle said.
The Parma C.F. players were passing the ball, and Angelo and Francisco were passing to each other for a few seconds. They both were finding a teammate to make a perfect pass but they were unable to find one because Bologna F.C. were maintaining their defensive structure by sitting in a deep mid-block perfectly man-marking every teammate. Francisco had the ball so he decided to use his ball-playing ability, he took the ball at his feet and drive forward, Fabio when saw Francisco driving into the opposition box, he used his intelligence, he dropped a little bit deeper from his position to make himself available for a pass for Francisco.
Francisco saw Fabio free he immediately passed the ball to him. Fabio receives it and turned towards the opposition's goal one player tried to press him before Fabio could do something but Fabio brilliantly used his football skills and got away from him and put a brilliant through ball for Lorenzo. Lorenzo got the ball first and the defenders of Bologna F.C. were trying to dispossess Lorenzo but Lorenzo got the better of them and took a shot towards the goal. Everyone in the stadium thought that it was a goal but the Bologna F.C. goalkeeper Goncalo made a brilliant save.
"Oh that was a great opportunity for Parma C.F. to score, they created a brilliant chance for themselves against this rigid defence of Bologna F.C."
"Yes, Gabrielle! a very intelligent play by Parma C.F. Fabio used great skill to get past his defender and put a brilliant through ball for Lorenzo to score. I thought that was a goal but a brilliant save by Goncalo."
"Yes, a very crucial save by Goncalo to deny a goal for Parma C.F but a positive start of the second half of Parma C.F."
Bologna F.C. goalkeeper Goncalo had the ball in his hands and he was looking for a pass. A few seconds later he saw Leonardo waving his hands asking to pass the ball to him. Goncalo then launched a long ball again for Leonardo and Bologna F.C. again tried to score the goal in the same sequence as they scored for the last two goals. Leonardo was trying to get to the ball first but this time Angelo got him covered, he got in front of him and passed the ball back to Vincenzo. After that, the supporters of Parma C.F. in the stadium were happy to see this positive start to the second half from their team they started clapping to cheer their team.
Ale Piola also clapped for his team on the sidelines and was telling them to keep playing like that and Paulo sitting on the bench was also trying to cheer his teammates from the dugout.
Vincenzo was on the ball looking for a pass and he passed the ball again to Francisco, Francisco received the ball and he again used his ball-playing ability, he drive the ball forward but this time instead of passing the ball forward he passed it to Macella who making the run on the left-hand flank of the pitch of Parma C.F. Macella got the ball at his and controlled it perfectly and made a brilliant inverted run on the left flank, he comfortably dribble passed one or two defenders of the Bologna F.C and managed to get into the box of Bologna F.C. When got into the penalty box of Bologna F.C he cut back the ball into the penalty box for Fabio and Fabio got the ball and took a shot from the penalty box area but again Goncalo made a brilliant save.
"Oh!!! again Parma C.F. created a brilliant chance and they were again about to score a goal but again it was Goncalo who again denied getting the ball back into the nets. What do you think Aldo is now Bologna F.C, struggling to defend?"
"You are right, Gabrielle! Goncalo might have made the two brilliant saves to maintain their in this game but Bologna F.C are now struggling to defend because Parma C.F is playing with intensity now and they are knocking on the door of Bologna F.C. Personally, I think they should have scored at least one in those two chances they had created."
Ale Piola was holding his head in disappointment because Fabio's shot was saved by Goncalo but he was feeling positive about the great display of his team during the second half. Ale Piola looked at his wristwatch and then turned his attention to the dugout where Paulo was sitting and cheering his teammates, he instructed him.
"Paulo! start warming up."
Paulo stood up from his seat and started warming up on the sidelines.
