Attributed to Football ItaliaA scrappy but tense affair at the Stadio Olimpico ended level, with Lazio failing to find a winner after Tijjani Noslin’s fortunate equaliser cancelled out Enrico Delprato’s well-taken opener in a result that does little to help either side’s objectives in the end of season run-in.

Parma arrived in Rome as the more cohesive unit in the opening stages, moving the ball patiently and waiting for gaps to exploit.
Their reward came on 15 minutes when Delprato latched onto a free kick, controlled beautifully inside the box and directed a precise finish into the bottom right corner to give the visitors a deserved lead.
Lazio struggled to find their rhythm in the first half despite plenty of possession.
Edoardo Motta, deputising for the injured Ivan Provedel, was called upon to make a fine save from Emanuele Valeri late in the half, while Alessio Romagnoli met a corner with a well-directed header that Parma’s keeper did brilliantly to tip away.
The home side went in at the break needing a response.
ROME, ITALY – APRIL 04: Enrico Delprato of Parma Calcio 1913 celebrates scoring his team’s first goal with teammates during the Serie A match between SS Lazio and Parma Calcio 1913 at Stadio Olimpico on April 04, 2026 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Paolo Bruno/Getty Images) Lazio 1-1 Parma – Biancocelesti improve in second half to snatch point Maurizio Sarri made a triple substitution on 58 minutes, introducing Noslin, Lazzari and Cancellieri in search of greater energy and attacking threat.
The changes had the desired effect, and on 77 minutes Lazio levelled, although fortune played its part.
Kenneth Taylor picked out Noslin inside the box, and the Dutch forward’s effort took a significant deflection to wrong-foot goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and find the net.
Parma might have restored their lead late on when a penalty appeal was initially waved away, only for referee Matteo Marcenaro to consult VAR before ultimately deciding against awarding the spot kick, a decision that prompted considerable frustration from Carlos Cuesta’s players on the touchline.
A point each , then, though both sides will feel they had chances to claim all three.
For Lazio, it keeps them unbeaten at a critical stage of the season, although perhaps they should have been winning today, while Parma’s survival battle continues to hang in the balance with the gap above the relegation zone just eight points.

What happened
Parma started better in Rome and went ahead after 15 minutes through Enrico Delprato. Lazio controlled more possession but struggled for fluency until Maurizio Sarri's second-half changes improved their attack. Tijjani Noslin equalised on 77 minutes with a deflected effort after a pass from Kenneth Taylor. A late Parma penalty appeal was overturned after VAR review, and the draw leaves Lazio frustrated and Parma still under pressure in the relegation fight.
Chance analysis
This was a low-quality, low-chance game despite Lazio's possession edge, with Parma arguably looking more coherent for long spells. Lazio's equaliser came after tactical changes rather than sustained attacking dominance, which suggests their underlying attacking issues remain. For Parma, taking a point away to Lazio is useful, but their survival cushion is still not fully secure.
The draw slightly dents Lazio's momentum and keeps Parma's survival battle unresolved.
Treat this as a modest positive for Parma's resilience and a mild negative for Lazio's attacking reliability, especially against organised opponents.
