Parma Rock the Home of Giants to Snatch Point in Four-Goal Serie A Smash-Up!
By Our Man In Milan I Sunday, Nov.09,2025
MILAN – The roar of the mighty San Siro was stunned into silence last night as an AC Milan side, seemingly cruising to victory, spectacularly collapsed to an embarrassing 2-2 draw against a spirited Parma outfit.
The iconic stadium, home to some of football’s greatest moments, witnessed a thrillingly chaotic second-half as the Rossoneri choked away a comfortable two-goal cushion, leaving the home support both furious and bewildered.
Milan, playing at their colossal, legendary ground—a venue that demands perfection—looked to have sealed the points thanks to goals from Alexis Saelemaekers and a Rafael Leão penalty inside the opening half hour.
The towering, triple-tiered arena was rocking, anticipating a straightforward victory to keep them within touching distance of the Serie A summit.
San Siro’s Shame
But football, especially in the cathedral of the San Siro, can be a cruel mistress.
Parma, showing the kind of grit demanded by the hallowed turf, clawed their way back into the contest. A brilliant strike from Adrián Bernabé just before the break provided a glimmer of hope for the visitors.
The atmosphere, which had been pulsating with Milanese expectation, became laced with anxiety as Parma came out firing in the second half.
That anxiety soon turned to dread when Enrico Delprato headed home the equaliser, sending the travelling contingent into raptures and plunging the majority of the San Siro into a stunned, deafening silence.
Milan piled on the pressure in the frantic final moments, with the immense structure of the stadium seemingly closing in on the Parma defence, but they could not find the winner. The sight of the Italian giants having to settle for a single point, after their dominant start in their own backyard, will be the big talking point back in Milan this morning.
This was a result that felt like a defeat for the hosts, a classic San Siro spectacle of triumph turning rapidly into torment.
