In Matchweek 32 of Serie A, Parma — with little left to play for this season — hosted title-chasing Napoli, who are still clinging to their Scudetto ambitions. On paper, it looked like a routine task for the visitors. Reality, however, told a different story.

Napoli were stunned inside the opening minute as Gabriel Strefezza struck early to give Parma a shock lead. It was the worst possible start for Antonio Conte’s side, who struggled to impose themselves consistently despite their urgency and attacking intent.

The visitors eventually found a way back after the break, with Scott McTominay stepping up to restore parity. Yet, despite their efforts, Napoli failed to find a winner.
