Result: Juventus 4 - 1 Parma

Juventus eased to a comfortable 4-1 win over Parma in their opening match of the Serie A season.

It was Juve's first match inside their new Juventus Arena stadium, where new signing Andrea Pirlo inspired the Turin side to victory.

Pirlo, who joined from AC Milan in the summer, set up two goals, including the first as he played in Stephan Lichsteiner to score in the 17th minute.

Simone Pepe and Arturo Vidal extended the lead further before Pirlo set up Claudio Marchisio for a volleyed fourth.

Parma grabbed a last minute consolation through a Giovinco penalty after Paolo De Ceglie was sent off for a foul in the area.

Juventus continue their Serie A campaign under new coach Antonio Conte with a trip to Siena on Sunday, September 18.
