October 31, (THEWILL) – Juventus fought back twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Parma in an intense Serie A clash, with both teams demonstrating attacking intent throughout the match. The result extends Parma’s recent sequence of drawn fixtures to five from their previous six Serie A encounters.
Parma established an early advantage when Enrico Delprato converted a well-executed corner routine in the third minute. The visiting team’s defence orchestrated the opener, with Botond Balogh providing the crucial assist for his fellow defender. Juventus responded through Weston McKennie, who capitalised on Timothy Weah’s delivery to restore parity, though not before Zion Suzuki denied the American’s initial attempt.
The momentum shifted again before half-time when Simon Sohm restored Parma’s lead. The goal came through Dennis Man’s intelligent play, following Valentin Mihaila’s contribution. However, Juventus demonstrated their determination once more after the interval, with Weah finding the net from Francisco Conceicao’s precise delivery.
Both teams created significant opportunities in their pursuit of the win. Dusan Vlahovic directed a header over the crossbar from another Conceicao cross, while Parma’s Gabriel Charpentier and Pontus Almqvist both came close in the closing stages. A dramatic conclusion saw Kenan Yildiz’s effort cleared off the line by Delprato.
The outcome leaves Juventus trailing league leaders Napoli by seven points, having drawn three of their previous four league fixtures. Parma, meanwhile, will look ahead to crucial matches against Genoa and Venezia, carrying forward their consistent run of results in Italy’s top division.
