Bologna snatches 2-1 win over Parma to reach Italian Cup quarterfinals, will
face Milan or Lazio
BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) --- Substitute Santiago Castro's last-gasp goal sent
Bologna into the Italian Cup quarterfinals as the defending champion came from
behind to beat Parma 2-1 on Thursday.
Bologna, which won for the competition for the first time in 52 years last
season, will face either AC Milan or Lazio, who were playing each other later.
Castro headed in a cross from Emil Holm in the 89th minute.
Serie A struggler Parma had taken a surprise lead in the 13th minute when
Adrian Benedyczak ran onto a through ball from Mathias Lovik and slotted past
Federico Ravaglia.
But the home side leveled shortly before halftime. Jonathan Rowe's initial
attempt hit the post but the English winger controlled the rebound and fired it
home for his first goal since joining Bologna in August.
There was another positive note for Bologna as Ciro Immobile came on as a late
substitute for his first appearance since a thigh injury in August.
