Parma, 15 February 2026 – Parma claimed a crucial late win over Hellas Verona at the Tardini.
Parma struck early through Bernabé, who opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a superb left-footed half-volley from outside the box. The hosts pushed for a second, with Strefezza and Britschgi both going close from set pieces, but Verona equalised just before half-time as Harroui converted from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute.
The second half was all about Parma. Ondrejka grazed the side netting (61’) and Strefezza rattled the crossbar with a curling strike (71’) as Parma repeatedly launched attacks against the Verona area. The breakthrough finally came in stoppage time: Valeri’s cross was punched clear by Montipò, Nicolussi Caviglia recycled possession into the box and Pellegrino headed home in the 93rd minute, sparking wild celebrations.
Parma’s next fixture is away to AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday 22 February.
