Juventus convinces at the start, brilliant victory over Parma. Atalanta

Juventus have started the new season in the best possible way, after defeating Parma with a score of 2-0. A good start for Igor Tudor's team, who aims to lead the team towards major objectives and reduce the gap with the reigning champions Napoli.

In the first half, Juventus dominated possession and controlled the pace of the game, but difficulties in finishing prevented the lead from being converted into goals. Few chances in the first 45 minutes did not change the outcome, with Parma goalkeeper Suzuki only tested by a header from Kosensao.

The second half brought more intensity. Parma had a good chance with Mateo Pellegrino, but his attempt was blocked by Bremer. Juventus responded with a long-range shot and a shot by Consensao that deflected off the post. The pressure paid off in the 59th minute, when Kenan Yildiz served a ball into the area and Jonathan David scored his first goal in the black and white shirt.

Although Andrea Cambiaso was sent off, the game remained unchanged. In the final minutes, Vlahovi? scored the second goal after another assist from Yildiz, sealing the 2-0 victory. The result gave Juventus their first three points and a positive start to the championship, while for Parma it was a losing start in their first match under coach Carlos Cuesta.

Another important match of the first week was played in Bergamo, where Atalanta drew 1-1 with Pisa.

The match started with Atalanta trying to build up attacks from the wings, but without efficiency in the penalty area. Pisa, returning to the elite after 34 years, scored the first in the 26th minute, when a ball crossed into the area brought an own goal by Isak Hien. The friends had a chance to double, but goalkeeper Karneseki reacted well to Moreo's header.

Atalanta equalised in the 50th minute, with Skamaca finding the back of the net after a pass from Pasalic. The Italian striker had two more good chances, including a shot blocked by the post and another saved by goalkeeper Semper. Despite numerous chances, Atalanta failed to take all three points, having to settle for a draw. This was the first season in eight years that the Bergamo team has failed to win in the opening week of Serie A. For Pisa, the draw brings a valuable point in their return to the top flight, although they remain without a win against Atalanta since 1985.
