Ross McCann got Edinburgh level when it looked like the returning Emiliano Boffelli had hesitated too long with his pass, but the winger skipped back inside and boshed off a few defenders to score.<\/p>\n
Zebre did not let up and crossed the line again as scrum-half Gonzalo Garcia sniped from the base of a ruck to dive over.<\/p>\n
The visitors rightfully led at half-time and went further ahead when Giacomo Da Re knocked a penalty over to give Zebre a 10-point lead.<\/p>\n
Edinburgh are known for being stronger in the second-half and they gave themselves hope when Ali Price zipped the ball to Mosese Tuipulotu and he crashed over for his first league score.<\/p>\n
With the conversion added, it became a three-point game, but Zebre responded brilliantly and replacement Tommaso di Bartolomeo gladly fell over the line from the back of a rumbling maul.<\/p>\n
Edinburgh put the pressure on, with Prisciantelli seeing yellow before Luke Crosbie crashed over from short range. <\/p>\n
Guido Volpi was then sent off for a high shot on the Edinburgh captain and it seemed Sean Everitt’s side would make their numbers count.<\/p>\n
However, an unbelievable defensive effort from Zebre kept the hosts out and they held on for one of the most famous victories in their history.<\/p>\n
