Parma, April 12, 2026 - A crucial point in the push towards the season's objective: Parma held title-chasing Napoli to a 1-1 draw with an strong performance. The Gialloblu got off to a flying start, taking the lead in under a minute through Gabriel Strefezza, scoring his first goal for the club. A long ball from Suzuki, a headed assist from Elphege, who started in place of the suspended Pellegrino, and the Italo-Brazilian raced through before beating Milinkovic-Savic with a precise diagonal finish off the post. Napoli equalised in the second half through McTominay, but Suzuki came up big late on with a superb save to deny Alisson and secure the point. Parma’s next match is away to Udinese next Saturday at 15:00 CEST.
