Parma, 28th December 2024 - Parma beat Monza and won a crucial match in the fight for salvation. After a balanced first half, the Gialloblu immediately found the advantage after the break thanks to a penalty by Hernani (foul by Pablo Marì on Coulibaly, with consequent expulsion). Bocchetti's Monza, playing one man down, still found the equaliser in the 86th minute with Pedro Pereira. At the end of the seven minutes of added time, however, Valenti sprinted into the area from a corner kick and gave his team three very important points.
