Parma and Monza finished 1-1 in Serie A at Stadio Ennio Tardini. The visitors led before half-time through Jay Robinson, Simone Lontani equalized for the hosts, and neither side found a winner.

Match Summary

Parma started in a 3-5-2, with E. Corvi, Diego Carlos, M. Keita and E. Touré among those named from the first whistle. Monza listed Jay Robinson, Dany Mota, Ricardo Mangas and M. Folorunsho in the starting eleven. For a long stretch the opening half stayed goalless, even as the away side looked the more likely to break through. Jay Robinson scored in the 38th minute, with Ricardo Mangas on the assist, and Monza took that lead into the interval. Michael Folorunsho was shown a yellow card in the 41st minute, the only caution of the first half.

Parma found a way back after the restart. Simone Lontani scored in the 60th minute to level the match, and the home side had a platform to press. The contest then grew tighter. Mandela Keita was booked in the 66th minute, Leonardo Colombo followed in the 68th, and Pontus Almqvist received a yellow card in the 83rd. Monza kept producing the greater number of attempts, yet the net did not move again. Referee F. La Penna closed it at 1-1.

Key Moments

Falling behind late in the first half forced Parma to chase on home ground and shaped how they had to play after the break. The equalizer was the swing that turned a likely away win into a shared point and stopped the hosts from leaving empty-handed. Monza's extra shot volume never became a second finish, which is why the advantage did not last. Four yellow cards never produced a sending-off, so the closing minutes stayed eleven against eleven and the score stayed locked.

Match Statistics

Monza held 54 percent of possession to Parma's 46 and outshot the hosts 15 to 7, with five attempts on target against three. Parma still won the corner count, six to three. Yellow cards finished two apiece, and there were no red cards.
