Parma win the Serie A Week 16 game defeating Napoli on Saturday 14 December 2019 at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Italy. Napoli Coach Gennaro Gattuso making his debut with a defeat after the sacking of Coach Carlo Ancelotti. Parma conquering the San Paolo in stoppage time reaching 24 points and is a big question mark for Napoli.
The San Paolo Stadium getting a cold shower in the 4th minute! It is Parma to open the score with Dejan Kulusevski defeating Napoli goalkeeper with a left footed sot in the center. Bad news is that Napoli is forced to make their first substitution because Kalidou Koulibaly got injured during the move and is replaced by Sebastiano Luperto.
4′ YESSSS DEJAN! 🔥🔥🔥

A total slap, a final blow for Napoli. Parma grabbing the victory in the agonizing 93rd minute with Gervinho scoring the winner goal with a left footed shot in the center. The assist is by Dejan Kulusevski following a fast break and there you go, Parma conquering the San Paolo.
