Collecchio, 14 November 2025 – Parma Calcio won 2-1 in a friendly against Mantova 1911, played at the Mutti Training Center in Collecchio. In the first half, Carlos Cuesta’s side opted for several strategies to play more fluidly and keep possession. 24 minutes in, Fiori forced a save from Corvi with a low right-footed strike, and not long after, Benedyczak and Diallo both came close with two corners from Hernani. In the 34th minute, Mantova found the opener on the counter against the Gialloblu. It was Falletti who got past Corvi with a clinical diagonal finish to give Mantova the lead. Sørensen and Cutrone came on in the second half, and it was the latter who found the equaliser in the 49th minute with an assist from Benedyczak. Cutrone almost secured a brace just 15 minutes later, but the decisive goal came in the 87th minute from a corner kick as Løvik connected with a controlled left-footed volley that got past Botti. The friendly ended 2-1, with the Gialloblu now focusing their efforts on their next Serie A away game against Hellas Verona at the Bentegodi on Sunday 23 November at 12:30 CET.
