Siena held by Parma

Siena picked up another point in their fight for survival in Serie A this afternoon with a goalless draw with Parma at home.

Parma controlled the possession in the early stages but were unable to turn territorial advantage into clear-cut chances.

Innocent Emeghara was the first to go close, controlling a long pass with a clever touch before blazing over from close range.

Amauri also fired over as both sides spurned well-worked openings and failed to break the deadlock.

Siena skipper Simone Vergassola fired narrowly wide early in the second half with the best effort of the match.

Eemeghara, Nicola Pozzi and Gianluca Sansone all aimed narrowly wide in the closing stages as both sides were forced to settle for a point.

Giuseppe Iachini's men move out of the relegation zone with that result on goal difference ahead of Genoa.
