Verona were missing key players Suslov, Serdar, and Kastanos, while Parma were without Frigan, Circati, Estevez, Suzuki, and Ndiaye. Despite dominating possession with 59%, Verona couldn't capitalize on their chances, allowing Parma to take the win with Pellegrino's late goal.

The hosts got off to a great start, but it was a case of déjà vu as Gift Orban's early goal was ruled out for offside. The striker had a second chance, but his effort sailed just wide of the post.

Parma's wait for a goal finally ended when they were awarded a long throw, and they capitalized on the opportunity. Oliver Sorensen's volley hit the bar, but Pellegrino was on hand to head home the rebound, giving Parma a surprise lead.

Verona equalized in hilarious fashion, thanks to Daniel Mosquera's battling run and Giovane's attempted tap-in that somehow ended up in the back of the net. The goal came just after the hour mark, and it looked like Verona had snatched a lifeline.

But Parma had other plans, and they quickly turned the tables. Giovane was involved in the next goal, but it was Parma who scored - Pellegrino scoring his second of the game to seal the win.

The equalizer was short-lived, as Parma's Pellegrino scored his second goal of the game to seal the win. Giovane's attempted clearance ended up playing into Pellegrino's path, and the striker capitalized with a clever lift over the Verona keeper.

The win lifts Parma to 15th place in the Serie A table with 11 points from 12 matches. Verona, on the other hand, remains at the bottom of the table on six points, dropping below Fiorentina on goal difference.
