Bernardo Corradi was thrilled to score for Parma in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Cagliari.
The former Manchester City striker told Sky Sports Italia: "I'm delighted that I scored and I will treasure that after what I went through last season.
"I haven't started a game for the last six months so I'm very happy with my performance even if I was a bit tired.
"Cagliari are a decent, well-organised side and it wasn't easy for us to break through. Now we need to carry on like this and pick up as many points as possible."
