Udine, 18 April 2026 – A well-deserved victory earned with determination by the Gialloblù at the Bluenergy Stadium. The goal from Nesta Elphege made the difference against Udinese. Brought on at half-time in place of Pellegrino, he found space in the Bianconeri defence and beat Okoye for his first Serie A goal. In his fifth league appearance, the Frenchman’s strike proved decisive, securing all three points and pushing Parma closer to their objective of the season. Late into the game, the Gialloblu also managed to defend a header from Gueye that struck the crossbar, but they held on to claim a hard-fought and valuable victory. Their next fixture will be at the Tardini on Saturday, 25 April against Pisa.
