Noceto, Tuesday 28 October 2025 – Parma advanced to the last 16 of the Coppa Italia Primavera with a 3-2 victory over Ascoli at Il Noce in Noceto.

The Gialloblù dominated the first half, creating several chances through Marchesi, Avramescu, and Drobnic, but were denied by an inspired Dente in the Ascoli goal. Against the run of play, the visitors struck first after 40 minutes, before Avramescu levelled just before half-time.

After the break, Semedo turned the game around with two goals in quick succession to make it 3-1. Finocchi tested Casentini with a strong effort, and Balducci later pulled one back for Ascoli in the 79th minute, but Parma held firm to secure the win.

Corrent’s side now progress to the Round of 16, where they will face the winner of Torino vs Pescara.
