Cercola, 15 February 2026 – Parma beat Napoli 1–0 at the Stadio Giuseppe Piccolo on Matchday 6 of the return stage of the Primavera 1 season.
Parma started strongly, going close twice through Cardinali and Semedo, but Napoli goalkeeper Pugliese kept the hosts in it. The breakthrough came in the 39th minute: Cardinali set up Balduzzi, who finished clinically to give the visitors the lead at halftime.
After the break, Napoli pushed for an equaliser, creating chances with Borriello, Baridò, Torre and De Chiara, but Mazzocchi and the Parma defence held firm. Parma nearly doubled their advantage late on when Tigani narrowly failed to convert from close range.
The match ended 1–0. Parma return to action on 22 February at the “Noce” in Noceto against Bologna.
