Parma, 23 December 2023 - After the initial scare from Raimondo (8’), Parma ground out chance after chance and scored twice up until the 55th minute when Adrian Bernabé signed off the comeback with our third goal. 

Finding our feet quickly after Ternana’s opener, Dennis Man grabbed an equaliser only two minutes later after a glorious backheel assist from the Spaniard. There were six more great opportunities to score but the Gialloblù went into the break level: the best of these chances came to Dennis Man who found himself one-on-one with the oncoming Iannarilli after a solo run beating four opponents but he could not find the target with his chipped effort. 

The Gialloblù were electric in the second half; Cyprien scored his first goal of the season in the 52nd minute with a great right-footed effort from outside the area into the bottom corner. 3 minutes later Bernabé doubled our advantage after Dennis Man found him unmarked at the back post. 

Looking ahead, training sessions are scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day before heading to Brescia on Boxing Day.
