They had a chance to add a second soon after, but Biabiany fired wide after being picked out by Antonio Cassano.

The home side began to threaten as Maxi Moralez saw his close-range header saved by Antonio Mirante, before Guglielmo Stendardo headed over the bar.

In the 75th minute Parma extended their lead when Yohan Benalouane turned a cross into his own net.

They quickly added a third as Cassano fired in a free kick, and Ezequiel Schelotto grabbed his side's fourth goal in stoppage time by firing a low strike into the bottom corner.
