Late drama at the Dall’Ara as Parma steal all three points in stoppage time, while Bologna pay the price for an early red card on Matchday 24.
Parma Calcio 1913 pulled off a huge late win in the Emilia derby, edging past Bologna 1–0 thanks to a spectacular long-range goal from Ordóñez in the 95th minute. In a tense and chaotic match shaped by two red cards, the visitors showed greater composure at the decisive moment, while Bologna were left to rue missed chances and a costly dismissal.
The hosts started with energy and intent, pushing Parma back in the early stages, but the game turned after just 22 minutes. Pobega caught Keita with a high, reckless challenge from behind: initially shown a yellow card, the Bologna midfielder was sent off after a VAR review, leaving Vincenzo Italiano’s side down to ten men for over an hour.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Bologna continued to control possession and dictate the tempo, though clear chances were limited and both goalkeepers were rarely tested before halftime.
Early in the second half, Bologna wasted a golden opportunity as Dallinga failed to capitalize from close range. Parma briefly thought they had taken the lead when an own goal by Castro found the net, but the referee overturned the decision after VAR intervention due to Pellegrino’s offside position interfering with play.
Parity in numbers was restored in the 79th minute when Parma were reduced to ten men as well, Troilo receiving a second yellow card. The match opened up in the closing stages: Orsolini came off the bench and immediately made an impact, striking the post with an acrobatic effort that had the home crowd on their feet.
Just when the game seemed destined for a goalless draw, Parma found the decisive moment. In the 95th minute, Ordóñez stepped forward from distance and unleashed a precise strike that beat Skorupski, sealing a dramatic derby win. Bologna pushed desperately for an equalizer, but Corvi produced two crucial saves in stoppage time to preserve the victory.
A painful defeat for Bologna, who leave the pitch empty-handed despite their resilience, while Parma celebrate a vital three points in their fight for survival.
