Parma played Iraklis 1908 in a club friendly on 2 August 2026 and the match finished 1:1. The result followed a period of testing for both sides, with each side finding the net once. It was not a game that demanded much from either defence, though the second half brought more urgency.
Parma took the lead in the 52nd minute when their forward found space inside the area and fired low past the keeper. Iraklis 1908 responded with patience, waiting for the right moment to strike. By then the home side had shifted its shape, trying to close down the middle. The visitors broke through in the 76th minute, a quick counter that caught Parma off guard and sent the ball into the corner of the net.
Parma held 55 per cent possession but Iraklis 1908 registered more attacks, 106 to 101. The visitors also enjoyed more throw-ins, 22 against 20, and earned 16 free kicks compared with Parma's 11. Neither side received a card or an offside call that altered the flow. The statistics suggest a match where both teams had periods of control but neither could force the issue.
The draw keeps Parma in the rhythm they have built through their pre-season games. They have now played five matches without losing, with two draws and two wins in that run.
