Juventus kicked off their new Serie A campaign with a 2-0 victory over Parma at the Allianz Stadium, shaking off a frustrating first half to hand new boss Igor Tudor a winning start. For Parma, the result stretched their miserable 2025 league run to just three wins in 21 matches, underlining the tough task facing debutant coach Carlos Cuesta. Softfootball reports.
The Bianconeri controlled most of the first half but lacked the killer touch in front of goal. Debut signing Jonathan David was lively, constantly trying to stretch the Parma defence, but his sharp movements rarely translated into clear chances.
The visitors’ goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was barely tested, with his standout moment a fingertip save to push new permament signing Francisco Conceição’s header over the bar. With Parma offering next to nothing going forward, the first 45 minutes ended goalless and short on real drama.
Parma actually had the first real chance after the restart, when Pontus Almqvist broke free on the left and squared for Mateo Pellegrino, only for Gleison Bremer to make a crucial block. That scare seemed to wake Juve up. They responded with a wave of pressure ,Federico Gatti and Kenan Yıldız both fired wide before Conceição rattled the post with a deflected effort.
The breakthrough finally came just before the hour mark: Yıldız’s clever cutback found David, who slotted home to open his account for the Old Lady.

Parma’s resistance faded after that, though Juve were given a nervy moment when Andrea Cambiaso was sent off for a needless swipe at Mathias Løvik. Just when it looked like Parma might mount a late push, Juventus struck again. Once more, Yıldız was the creator, cutting the ball back for substitute Dušan Vlahović to bury Juve’s second and seal the points.
For Juventus, it was the perfect start under Tudor , a clean sheet, new forwards on the scoresheet, and a reminder of the squad’s depth. For Parma, Cuesta’s debut in the dugout brought more pain than promise, with Atalanta looming as another difficult test next week.
