Chievo Verona 1 - 2 Parma 5th Feb Highlight Report 2012 Luciano's own goal handed Parma victory in their midtable clash at Chievo in Serie A this afternoon.
Luciano diverted Sebastian Giovinco's shot past goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino to settle the match.
Giovinco had put the visitors in front a minute after half-time, but Cyril Thereau levelled four minutes later.
The hosts started brightly and Sergio Pellissier just failed to get a touch to Davide Moscardelli's low ball across the six-yard box.
Moscardelli then teed up Kamil Vacek, who missed badly from close range.
At the other end Giovinco was denied by a wonder save from Sorrentino, who somehow kept out his effort from point-blank range in front of goal.
Chievo continued to create chances, though, and Paolo Sammarco forced a great stop from Nicola Pavarini with a volley from inside the area.
Cristian Zaccardo had the ball in the net for Parma a minute before the break, but the whistle had already gone for a foul.
But the visitors went in front a minute after the interval as Giovinco fired emphatically past Sorrentino with his left foot.
The lead lasted just four minutes as defender Gabriel Paletta inexplicably failed to cut out a pass, leaving Thereau to slot home the equaliser.
The hosts had Sorrentino to thank for keeping them on level terms by saving Sergio Floccari's effort before Paletta headed wide.
A second Parma goal was coming and it arrived in the 69th minute, Luciano deflecting Giovinco's shot inside the right post.
Chievo pushed for a leveller but could not find a way past Pavarini as he kept out Francesco Acerbi's header and grabbed the ball at the feet of Alberto Paloschi.
