In a match filled with drama and controversy, Parma ended Lazio’s five-game winning streak in Serie A with a surprising 3-1 victory. The game was marked by disallowed goals, a revoked penalty, and a spectacular debut goal from Parma’s Anas Haj Mohamed.
The match began with immediate controversy as Lazio’s Nicolò Rovella saw his stunning goal disallowed after a VAR review, deemed a foul in the build-up. Moments later, Parma capitalized on a Rovella error, with Dennis Man opening the scoring.
Lazio’s frustrations mounted as they had two goals disallowed and a penalty decision overturned. Taty Castellanos thought he had equalized twice, only to be denied by an offside flag and a goal-line clearance.
The turning point came in the second half when Anas Haj Mohamed, making his first Serie A start, scored a sensational curler to double Parma’s lead. The young Tunisian’s goal showcased the home team’s clinical finishing.
Lazio managed to pull one back late in the game through Castellanos, capitalizing on a defensive mix-up. However, their hopes of a comeback were dashed when Enrico Delprato sealed the win for Parma with a well-executed counter-attack goal.
