Milan paid the price for insipid finishing and sluggish defending, as Parma inflicted their first Serie A defeat since the opening weekend, leaving them 10 points behind Inter.
2025/2026 Serie A
0-1
Milan dominated the entire match and had numerous scoring opportunities, but Parma held firm and capitalized on their only real chance, when Mariano Troilo jumped over Bartesaghi at the back post to nod in a corner.
The referee initially awarded a foul, but Valenti stood in the way of Maignan more than fouled him, so the goal was allowed following a VAR review.
