Serie A | Juventus 2-0 Parma: Nico Gonzalez inspirational

Douglas Luiz volleyed off target and Christian Ordonez’s effort was deflected wide off Pierre Kalulu, but Francisco Conceicao was unlucky to see his daisy-cutter from outside the area clip the base of the upright on 33 minutes.

There was another opportunity for Douglas Luiz, a weak header straight at the goalkeeper from the Kalulu cross, but Lucumi almost scored on his debut when volleying over from a smart corner kick routine and dinked Jeremie Boga assist.

David also failed to keep his shot down after a poor clearance, prompting jeers from the frustrated crowd, then Kolo Muani scuffed wide after a sensational Conceicao nutmeg to get away from Emanuele Valeri.

There were very loud jeers from the crowd when David and Boga made way for Kerim Alajbegovic and Nico Gonzalez, and it almost had an immediate effect, because within minutes the Argentina international hit a magnificent volley from the edge of the area, denied by the even better one-handed Edoardo Corvi save.

Nico Gonzalez made an extraordinary impact, as moments later he unleashed a shot from a huge distance that cannoned off the upright, it ricocheted back into his path and the second attempt went in off Mariano Troilo.

Parma responded immediately, as Guglielmo Vicario made a desperate one-handed save to claw the David Romero header off the line.

Kolo Muani completed a give and go with Nico Gonzalez to force another Corvi save, then nodded the resulting corner over the bar from six yards.

Parma had penalty appeals for an Alajbegovic challenge on Mandela Keita, but there was another problem for Juve when substitute Andrea Cambiaso hobbled off with a right ankle injury.

His replacement scored moments later, as Teun Koopmeiners drilled into the far bottom corner from just inside the area on a Manuel Locatelli lay-off, after Nico Gonzalez had caught Konate napping playing out from the back.
