Parma vs Bologna ratings: Theate and Orsolini lead the way in away win

Arthur Theate and Riccardo Orsolini were the headline performers in Parma vs Bologna, where Bologna won 2-1 away at Parma. Theate scored the first goal and finished on 7.75, while Orsolini added the second from the penalty spot and was rated 7.8 despite only playing 45 minutes.

Bologna's top marks

Theate's rating reflected an all-round impact, not just the goal. He finished with 1 goal, 4 shots, 2 shots on target and a 7.75 rating in 90 minutes. Nicolò Cambiaghi supplied the assist for the opener and posted a 7.7, so the first half belonged to Bologna's left-sided attack.

Orsolini then settled it from the spot after the break. His 7.8 was the highest individual mark in the match, and it came from a brief but decisive cameo rather than volume. Bologna did not need a heavy spell of control to take the points, just the players with the sharpest end product.

Parma's red card and late reply

Abdoulaye Ndiaye was sent off in the 9th minute after a VAR upgrade, which left Parma with ten men for almost the entire match. That early dismissal forced the home side into damage control before the game had really settled.

Parma still found a way back into it late on. V. Sierro scored from the penalty spot in the 81st minute to make it 2-1, and the closing stages stayed alive longer than Bologna would have wanted.

Still, the ratings made the key point clear. Theate and Orsolini were the decisive figures, Cambiaghi provided the first assist, and Parma's early red card set up a night where Bologna's best players could decide the result.
