Ajdin Hrustic was on the bench as Hellas Verona failed to secure safety on the final day of Italy’s Serie A following a 3-1 loss at AC Milan on Sunday.
Verona needed to better 17th-placed Spezia’s result, but failed, despite the latter losing 2-1 at AS Roma. That means both side finished level on points in 17th and 18th and will meet in a playoff tiebreaker at a neutral venue on Sunday.
Cristian Volpato was an unused substitute in Roma’s win over Spezia.
Alessandro Circati started and played 51 minutes as Parma drew 0-0 with Cagliari to crash out of the Serie B promotion playoffs with a 3-2 aggregate loss.
