Parma 0-2 Udinese: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Parma 0-2 Udinese in the Serie A on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Udinese took an early lead in the 11th minute when N. Zaniolo scored, assisted by N. Bertola, setting a tone of efficiency for the visitors despite Parma holding a slight possession edge. Parma made two substitutions at the break, with N. Estevez replacing M. Keita and J. Ondrejka coming on for P. Cutrone, but Udinese maintained control through more corners and a disciplined approach. A yellow card to Parma’s M. Keita in the 10th minute added early tension, though the hosts pushed for an equaliser without success before the interval.

The second half brought further drama as Parma introduced Hernani for O. Sorensen in the 56th minute, but their efforts were hampered by M. Troilo’s red card in the 64th minute, leaving them with ten men. Udinese capitalised immediately, with K. Davis converting a penalty in the 65th minute to double the lead, though Davis himself received a yellow card shortly after in the 66th minute.

Late substitutions for both sides, including Parma bringing on A. Benedyczak for A. Bernabe and M. Lovik for E. Valeri, and Udinese making changes like A. Buksa for Davis, did little to alter the outcome, as Udinese secured a comfortable 2-0 victory despite a late red card to boss K. Runjaic in stoppage time.

Parma edged possession with 51% compared to Udinese’s 49%, but this slight advantage did not translate into dominance, as Udinese generated more corners (9 to 5) and created clearer scoring opportunities, ultimately reflected in their two goals.

Successful dribbles favoured Parma heavily at 42 to 30, suggesting better individual skill in advancing the ball, yet disciplinary issues hurt them with one yellow card and one red card against Udinese’s two yellows and no reds in the stats, contributing to Parma’s reduced numbers after the 64th minute and allowing Udinese to exploit the space.

Udinese’s single penalty taken and scored proved decisive, while both teams used all five substitutions, with Parma’s early changes at half-time aiming to inject energy but failing to shift momentum, and Udinese’s later swaps, such as J. Ekkelenkamp for A. Atta at 68’, helping to manage the game and secure the win without recorded assists for Parma.

The match’s opening goal came in the 11th minute as N. Zaniolo finished neatly for Udinese, assisted by N. Bertola, following an early yellow card to Parma’s M. Keita at 10’, which disrupted the hosts’ rhythm. A pivotal turning point arrived in the 64th minute with Parma’s M. Troilo receiving a red card, reducing them to ten players and immediately leading to Udinese’s second goal via K. Davis’ penalty in the 65th minute, though Davis picked up a yellow card a minute later.

Late drama included Udinese boss K. Runjaic being sent off in the 90+3rd minute, but it came too late to affect the result, with substitutions like Hernani replacing O. Sorensen for Parma at 56’ and A. Buksa coming on for Davis at 68’ for Udinese providing tactical adjustments without altering the 2-0 scoreline.

Parma lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, relying on a solid defensive base to support midfield creativity, with partnerships in the wing-back areas aiming to stretch the play and create crossing opportunities.

Udinese deployed a 3-5-2 shape, focusing on compact defending and quick transitions, where the central midfield trio provided balance and supported forward runs effectively.

N. Zaniolo earned Man of the Match honours for Udinese with his early goal in the 11th minute and overall influence, combining well in attack before being substituted off for I. Bravo in the 82nd minute.
