Antonin Barak headed in Verona’s 1 000th Serie A goal on Monday in a 2-1 comeback win over Parma.
The Czech midfielder struck just after an hour to get Verona back winning after back-to-back defeats.
Slovak Juraj Kucka had put Parma ahead from the spot after eight minutes to end the visitors’ three-game goalless drought, for a foul on Yann Karamoh.
But Verona got back level five minutes later when Alberto Grassi accidently deflected a Federico Dimarco shot into his own goal.
And Barak sealed the three points, getting his head to a Dimarco corner to ensure Verona became the 19th team to reach the 1 000 goal mark in the Italian top flight.
Verona consolidated ninth position, seven points off the Europa League places, with Parma stuck second from bottom and eyeing Serie B next season.
