The visitors wasted a great chance to level the score in the 25th minute of the match. Perparim Hetemaj gave away a penalty following a handball inside the box, but Amauri saw his effort saved by Christian Puggioni.

Three minutes later, they did find the net as Antonio Cassano fired home a long-range effort.

In the second half, Amauri almost scored with a volleyed attempt, but the keeper pushed his effort onto the crossbar.

With the game heading towards a draw, Parma snatched the three points, as Alessandro Lucarelli fired in a low strike from the left hand side that beat Puggioni at his near post.
