Aug 29 : Nico Gonzalez scored for Juventus five minutes after coming off the bench and fellow sub Teun Koopmeiners added a second late on as their side secured a 2-0 home win over Parma on Saturday, making it two wins from two to kick off the new Serie A season.
Luciano Spalletti’s side wasted plenty of decent opportunities before Gonzalez entered the fray in the 57th minute, and he announced himself on the hour mark by forcing a superb save from Parma keeper Edoardo Corvi.
Two minutes later the 28-year-old Gonzalez went even closer, this time beating Corvi but hitting the far post with another venomous effort, but he picked up his own rebound and drilled a deflected effort into the net off Parma defender Mariano Troilo to break the deadlock.
A late injury to Andrea Cambiaso saw Koopmeiners brought off the bench in the 87th minute, and a minute later the Dutch midfielder wrapped up the three points by sweeping the ball back across goal and into the net.
