On 29 October 1995, a memorable match for Filippo Inzaghi's career took place at the Ennio Tardini stadium in Parma. Parma hosted Piacenza in a SerieA match which ended with a 3-2 victory in favor of the ducals. The goal that Inzaghi scored, his first in the top flight, was a moment of lightness and talent that immediately made people talk about him.
In the context of that match, Parma had former world champion Hristo Stoichkov on the bench, who would only come on in the eightieth minute to replace Melli. Nevio Scala's team had, among the starters, Sensini and Couto in the foreign quota, while Piacenza, led by coach Luigi Cagni, had Gigi Cagni, Turrini and Piovani on the pitch in a 4-5-1 formation that could transform into 4-3-3 depending on needs. Piacenza, however, failed to find the net at home, with zero goals in their favor.
Parma started well, with a brace from Zola: the first goal came in the 23rd minute, followed by another in the 61st, both scored by accurate free kicks. Piacenza responded with a goal from Angelo Carbone in the 53rd minute, and a penalty from Caccia in the 82nd minute, which brought the score to 2‑2. Meanwhile, Stoichkov was sent off in the 80th minute after a challenge on Piacenza player Rossini, who received a second yellow card.
The key moment came in the ninetieth minute, when Filippo Inzaghi, in a descent by Di Chiara, found himself in front of the Piacenza goalkeeper, Taibi. His first attempt was a volley that bounced off his body, leaving the opportunity for a second attempt. Inzaghi took the opportunity and scored, scoring his first goal in Serie A. The goal was a sign of his natural ability as a "superpippo", which would accompany him throughout his career.
The match ended with Parma at the top of the score, 3-2, thanks to Zola, Carbone, Caccia and Inzaghi's goal. The result confirmed the solidity of Nevio Scala's team, which was able to count on a solid defensive unit and an attack capable of creating opportunities. For Piacenza, the match was a growth experience, although they did not achieve victory.
Inzaghi's goal was the start of a brilliant career in SerieA, with the player going on to score for Parma and subsequently other Italian teams. The match on 29 October remains an important memory for football fans, as it marked the beginning of a legend of Italian football.
