Parma had not scored in its previous three games in Florence, but took the lead on the stroke of halftime when Walter Garganos shot was deflected over the prone Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto. Fiorentina levelled in the 64th minute when Gonzalo Rodriguez leapt highest at the near post to head a corner across into the right side of the goal. The hosts went ahead 12 minutes later when Juan Vargas controlled the ball between two Parma defenders before turning and firing past Antonio Mirante from close range.

"There is bitterness, disappointment," Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said. "In the first half we didnt do very well, partly down to the great work of Parma, while I saw a different Fiorentina after the break.

Fiorentina missed a chance on the hour mark when Mirante pulled off a great save to deny Marcos Alonso. ' ' '
