The Lupi jumped out to a two-goal lead in the first 45 minutes and seemed to be cruising to victory until the visitors hit back twice through Amauri in the second session to earn a creditable draw.
Giovinco had a late chance to win it with a delicate chip over Alexander Doni but his lob sailed just wide. Nonetheless, the diminutive dynamo was pleased with his side’s resolve.
“We will review the mistakes we made in the first half at the Stadio Olimpico as we did not play very well,” he said, according to Parma’s official website.
“In the second half we were excellent and could have won the game if my lob had found the net late on. It’s too bad because it should have been a goal but I was a bit tired.
“Perhaps we were a bit nervous in the first half, but we regrouped at the interval and returned much more composed.”
The 24-year-old went on to speak about his tackle which forced Roma midfielder David Pizarro to be stretchered off on the stroke of half-time.
“It was not my intention to hurt him, so after the match ended I apologised. I’m not sure what the fuss is all about though, if you make tackles you must receive them as well, it’s part of the game,” he concluded.
