Noceto, Monday 26 January 2026 – Parma were held to a 1-1 draw by Torino as they continue their Primavera 1 league campaign through the second half of the season.
Parma started brightly, with Cardinali testing Santer just seconds after kick-off, before Torino responded through chances for Gabellini and Sandrucci, the latter denied by an excellent Astaldi save. Both sides pushed before the break, with Cardinali going close again late in the first half, but the teams went into half time goalless.
After the restart, Parma threatened through Mikolajewski and Balduzzi. Torino were reduced to ten men in the 69th minute as Santer was sent off for a last-man foul, allowing the breakthrough to finally come in the 80th, when Mena Martinez struck from distance to put Parma ahead. Torino showed character, however, and equalised late on through Zeppieri to share the points.
