Lazio beat Parma 2-1 at the Olimpico.
The Serie A encounter between Lazio and Parma took place on 24 October 2026 at Rome’s historic Olimpico stadium. Both sides entered the match looking to claim all three points, and the atmosphere was charged as the kick-off approached.
How it unfolded
The first half remained tightly contested until the 30th minute, when Lazio’s Oliver Provstgaard was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. Eight minutes later, Parma’s Vincent Sierro received a similar booking for a bad foul of his own, leaving both teams with a caution on the board.
The deadlock was broken shortly after the interval when, in the 50th minute, Kenneth Taylor fired a left-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner, giving Lazio a 1-0 lead. The home side doubled their advantage eight minutes later when Diego Carlos inadvertently turned a ball into his own net, an own-goal that pushed the score to 2-0 in favour of Lazio.
Parma fought back in the dying moments of the game. In stoppage time, the 90'+5' minute, Simone Lontani struck from a difficult angle on the left, his left-footed effort finding the bottom right corner. The goal was set up by Giovanni Fabbian, reducing the deficit to 2-1 but not enough to change the result.
Standout performers
Kenneth Taylor provided the opening goal with a precise long-range effort, while Simone Lontani’s late strike, assisted by Giovanni Fabbian, offered Parma a glimmer of hope. Diego Carlos, despite the unfortunate own-goal, was involved in a pivotal moment of the match.
