Check out Napoli player ratings from

Goalkeeper

Vanja Milinković-Savić - 6.5: Had one of the quietest nights of his career. He was largely a spectator for the full 90 minutes as the action was entirely at the other end. Made one comfortable save from Parma's only real shot on target. His distribution was fine, but he had little else to do.

Defenders

Giovanni Di Lorenzo - 8.5: An absolutely outstanding performance from the captain. He was a constant threat down the right flank, creating three chances and recovering the ball 11 times. Defensively solid and led by example, he did everything but score. Our highest-rated player for a reason.

Amir Rrahmani - 7.5: A rock at the back. He was imperious in the air, winning seven of his nine aerial duels. With 120 accurate passes, he was incredibly calm and composed, recycling possession and starting attacks from deep. A very commanding display.

Alessandro Buongiorno - 7.0: A solid and reliable partner to Rrahmani. He nearly got on the scoresheet with a header that was well saved. His passing was crisp and he never looked troubled by Parma's limited attacks. Contributed to a dominant defensive showing.

Midfielders

Stanislav Lobotka - 7.5: The conductor in midfield. He controlled the tempo of the game with his sublime passing, boasting a 94% accuracy. Created two chances and was defensively diligent, winning all his tackles. A class act who dictated play effortlessly.

Scott McTominay - 7.0: The man who thought he was the hero. He was a bundle of energy, taking four shots and arriving in the box constantly. Gutted his goal was disallowed. A powerful performance but one that ended in frustration.

Mathías Olivera - 6.5: A decent outing before being substituted. He was solid on the left and created a good chance for Rasmus Højlund in the first half. The manager clearly wanted a more attacking impetus when he was withdrawn.

Pasquale Mazzocchi - 6.5: Active on the flank and was unlucky not to score, hitting the woodwork. He provided good width but was taken off as Napoli chased the game. A solid, if unspectacular, performance.

Attackers

Noa Lang - 7.0: Looked very bright and dangerous in his time on the pitch. He was a creative spark, setting up a big chance and delivering some teasing crosses. His substitution was a bit of a surprise as he looked likely to make something happen.

Matteo Politano - 7.0: A livewire on the wing. He attempted a staggering 13 crosses and was a constant thorn in Parma's side. His final ball just lacked that bit of quality to unlock a stubborn defence, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.

Rasmus Højlund - 6.0: It was a really frustrating night for the striker. He was starved of clear-cut chances and often looked isolated against a packed defence. He lost the ball too easily at times and just couldn't impose himself on the game.

Substitutes

Eljif Elmas - 6.5: Came on and tried to inject some creativity, setting up a couple of shots from distance. Leonardo Spinazzola - 6.0: Offered width but couldn't provide the decisive cross. David Neres - 6.0: A quiet cameo before being subbed off himself. Antonio Vergara - N/A. Lorenzo Lucca - N/A.

Manager

C. Stellini - 6.5: His team completely dominated the match but just couldn't find the back of the net. The tactics were fine to control the game, but he failed to find a plan B to break down a resolute Parma. A frustrating day at the office.

Parma Player Ratings vs Napoli

Here are Sportsdunia's Parma Player Ratings from the Serie A fixture:

Goalkeeper

Filippo Rinaldi - 9.0: Man of the Match, and it's not even close. An absolutely heroic, magnificent performance. He made four crucial saves, commanded his box with authority, and was a picture of calm under immense pressure. The sole reason Parma are leaving with a point. Sensational.

Defenders

Alessandro Circati - 7.5: The captain was a warrior at the back. He put his body on the line with three blocked shots and was a leader in a defence under siege. He organized his backline brilliantly and never shirked a challenge. A true captain's knock.

Lautaro Valenti - 7.0: A very busy evening. He made a staggering 10 clearances, which tells you everything about the pressure he was under. While his passing was a bit off, his defensive contribution was immense. Stood tall when it mattered.

Mariano Troilo - 7.0: Was having an excellent game before being forced off with an injury. He made 11 clearances and was a huge part of the early defensive solidity. It was a real shame to see his night end prematurely. Deservedly booked for a cynical but necessary foul.

Midfielders

Mandela Keita - 7.0: What stood out to us was his sheer work rate. A tenacious performance in the heart of midfield. He won 6 duels and made some crucial tackles to break up Napoli's rhythm. Provided an excellent screen for his defenders.

Nahuel Estévez - 6.5: Ran his socks off for the cause. Making 10 clearances from midfield shows how deep he had to drop. His job was to disrupt and destroy, and he did it well, even if his quality on the ball suffered as a result.

Sascha Britschgi - 6.0: A mixed performance. He did create a couple of chances on the counter but also committed needless fouls and picked up a booking. He worked hard but lacked composure at key moments.

Christian Ordóñez - 6.0: A difficult night where he was chasing shadows for large periods. He struggled to get on the ball and make an impact offensively. Can't fault his effort, but the game passed him by.

Oliver Sørensen - 6.0: Hooked at halftime after a quiet first half. He couldn't get into the game and the manager opted for a change. A forgettable 45 minutes.

Attackers

Jacob Ondrejka - 6.5: Looked like Parma's brightest spark in the first half. He forced a good save from the Napoli keeper and looked dangerous on the break. Faded as the game wore on and was eventually substituted.

Patrick Cutrone - 5.5: A really tough and thankless task up front. He was completely isolated and got no service whatsoever. He lost most of his duels and offered very little threat before being taken off. The worst performer on the pitch.

Substitutes

Emanuele Valeri - 6.5: Came on and did a solid defensive job. Enrico Delprato - 6.5: Replaced the injured Troilo and slotted in seamlessly. Adrián Bernabé - 6.0: Added fresh legs to help see out the game. Mateo Pellegrino - 6.0: Worked hard. Adrian Benedyczak - N/A.

Manager

C. Antón Cuesta - 8.0: A tactical masterclass in defensive football. He knew his side couldn't go toe-to-toe with Napoli, so he set them up to be compact, resilient, and hard to beat. The game plan worked to perfection. He'll be absolutely delighted with this point.
