Mergim Vojvoda's 63rd minute strike sealed the win and lifted Torino three points clear of the relegation zone. Parma also has a game in hand.

Parma’s fifth successive defeat left the team 12 points adrift of 17th-placed Cagliari, who occupies the last safe position in the league with four matches remaining. Cagliari also has the better head-to-head record which is a deciding factor in Serie A.

Parma, who has 20 points, follow Crotone in being relegated. One more relegation place is still to be decided.
