The Serie A encounter between Atalanta and Parma unfolded on 2 November 2026 at Bergamo’s New Balance Arena. Both sides entered the match looking to improve their standing in the Italian top flight, but it was Parma who imposed themselves early and never looked back.

How it unfolded

At the 47th minute Davide Zappacosta inadvertently redirected the ball into his own net, doubling Parma’s advantage to 2-0. The second half saw Parma extend their lead further. In the 58th minute Simone Lontani struck from outside the box with his right foot, sending the ball to the bottom right corner.
