Parma are already relegated to the Serie B.  Ideally, Parma will say goodbye to the Serie A with a home victory against Hellas Verona.  However, Verona looking to win the match especially to see their key player forward Luca Toni scoring to reach to the top scorer players.  Luca having now 19 goals only 1  goal less than Juventus forward Carlos Tevez and Inter forward Mauro Icardi with 20 goals each.

Parma opening the score in the 21st minute with midfielder Antonio Nocerino defeating Hellas Verona goalkeeper Rafael with a right footed hsot in the bottom left corner.

Parma increasing the score in the 36th minute with midfielder Silvestre Varela defeating goalkeeper Rafael with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.

Things changing now.. It’s a historical goal.  In the 42nd minute, Hellas Verona forward Luca Toni defeating Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante with a headed shot.  It’s a crucial goal because Luca now has 20 goals reaching top scorer along Juventus forward Carlos Tevez and Inter forward Mauro Icardi also with 20 goals each.

And there it is.. it must be  a “Luca Toni Day.”   Imagine, in the 79th minute Referee Minelli giving a penalty to Hellas Verona conceded by Parma defender Zouhair Feddal for a handball.   And the magic moment arriving when Luca Toni goes to the penalty spot and surviving the pressure….  Luca converts the penalty with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.   History re-written because now Luca Toni is the sole top scorer with a total of 21 goals.
