An already qualified Parma were too relaxed to maintain their 100 per cent UEFA Cup record, falling 3-0 at home to Osasuna.
The Gialloblu were already assured the top spot in Group D ahead of this game thanks to a 100 per cent record, but Osasuna were locked in a battle for second place.
Although the Tardini outfit had a relatively solid start with Antonio Bocchetti's strike, young goalkeeper Alfonso De Lucia lost concentration to hand the Spaniards the opening goal.
His poor clearance was captured by David Lopez Moreno, who immediately unleashed a fierce drive from distance that slammed in off the inside of the upright.
Dedic's header was off target and Osasuna's confidence grew as De Lucia was tested by a Soldado right-foot attempt from the edge of the box.
On the stroke of half-time, Parma went 2-0 down. Lopez Moreno was again on the scoresheet, ready to tap in a low ball across the face of goal.
Vitalii Kutuzov's free kick was high and substitute Paponi had a good chance to score just moments after stepping on to the pitch, but at full stretch he just failed to turn in Filippo Savi's wayward shot.
De Lucia answered another Lopez Moreno strike from outside the area and Ricardo parried Kutuzov's dangerous header.
Osasuna substitute Romeo found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but De Lucia won the battle to keep the scoreline down.
The visitors finished off the match with a third goal. Milosevic sparked the counter-attack and Romeo threaded through for Juanfran to seal the 3-0 scoreline.
Parma's youngsters had one last chance to get a consolation goal, but Maurizio Ciaramitaro's header was saved and Paponi hit the side-netting.
