Parma, Italy: In a surprising turn of events, Parma defeated Lazio 3-1, ending Lazio’s five-game winning streak. The match was filled with drama, including two disallowed goals for Lazio and a penalty that was taken away after a review. Anas Haj Mohamed made a remarkable debut for Parma, scoring a stunning goal that helped secure the win.
Lazio had been riding high with five consecutive victories in Serie A. However, they faced frustration after a recent Europa League draw. Key players like Nuno Tavares, Boulaye Dia, and Matias Vecino were sidelined due to injuries. Parma also missed some players but Matteo Cancellieri was eager to impress against his parent club.
The match kicked off dramatically. Just 70 seconds in, Nicolò Rovella scored a beautiful goal, but it was disallowed after a VAR review. The referee ruled that Rovella had accidentally hit Anas Haj Mohamed in the face during the play, a decision that many found harsh.
Instead, Parma took the lead shortly after. Dennis Man capitalized on a poor back-pass from Rovella and scored against Lazio’s goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel. Lazio continued to press for an equalizer, with Rovella trying to make amends by shooting just wide.
Lazio thought they had equalized when Taty Castellanos scored with a header, but Norbert Balogh cleared the ball off the line. Rovella’s luck worsened as he received a yellow card for a high boot, which means he will miss the next match against Napoli.
Castellanos found the net again, but this time he was offside. Parma’s defense held strong, with Emanuele Valeri making a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Gustav Isaksen. The first half ended with more controversy when a penalty was awarded to Lazio but was overturned after a VAR review.
Tensions rose as a brawl broke out on the sidelines, reflecting Lazio’s frustration. Zaccagni’s shot was deflected just wide, and Suzuki made a fantastic save from a close-range header. Parma then doubled their lead with a stunning goal from Anas Haj Mohamed, who scored from outside the box.
Lazio continued to push forward, but they struggled to find the back of the net. Castellanos finally scored for Lazio after a mix-up between Parma’s goalkeeper and defender. However, just as Lazio seemed to gain momentum, Parma struck again on a counter-attack, with Enrico Delprato scoring to seal the 3-1 victory.
This match showcased Parma’s resilience and skill, while Lazio will need to regroup after this disappointing loss. The game was a reminder of the unpredictability of football, where fortunes can change in an instant.
