Juventus opened their Serie A season with a 2-0 victory against Parma at the Allianz Stadium, handing new manager Igor Tudor a winning start and extending the visitors’ poor run to just three wins in their last 21 league outings.

The hosts dominated the first half but lacked sharpness in front of goal, with debutant Jonathan David unable to find a breakthrough.

Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki denied Francisco Conceição with a fine save, keeping the contest level at the interval.

Juve’s persistence was rewarded early in the second half when Kenan Yildiz pounced on a defensive lapse to slot home.

The Old Lady looked set to push on, but Andrea Cambiaso’s red card for striking Mathias Lovik briefly put their control at risk.

Any tension quickly evaporated, however, as substitute Dušan Vlahović finished off a Yildiz cutback to double the lead and seal victory.

The result gave Juventus their first win over Parma in three meetings, while new Parma coach Carlos Cuesta endured a losing debut as his side’s concerning form continued ahead of a daunting clash with Atalanta.
