Paolo Palladino made his debut as the head coach of Fiorentina in a challenging match that ended in a 1-1 draw against Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The home side took the lead in the 22nd minute when Man scored with a powerful left-footed shot from the edge of the box, following a clever assist from Bonny.
Parma controlled the match for long stretches but failed to increase their lead. This missed opportunity proved costly as Fiorentina found their breakthrough in the 75th minute. On a free kick from a tight angle, Cristiano Biraghi delivered a stunning left-footed strike that curled into the net, leaving goalkeeper Suzuki with no chance.
The game took a dramatic turn late on, as Parma’s Pongracic received a second yellow card in the 83rd minute, reducing his team to ten men. Despite the final push from both sides, the match concluded with a draw, leaving Palladino with a mixed start to his tenure.
