Video: substitutes lead Juventus to break down Parma

Juventus saw off Parma 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium, breaking down a stubborn, compact visiting defence after a goalless first half. Substitute Nicolas Gonzalez opened the scoring in the second half. Teun Koopmeiners doubled the lead on his first appearance, having come on for the injured Andrea Cambiaso.

Luciano Spalletti's side made it two wins on the bounce to keep their strong start to Serie A going. Parma, meanwhile, failed to score for a second match running.

Juventus pressure and Parma warning
Juventus started on the front foot, with Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz dictating possession in midfield while Francisco Conceicao tormented Parma's defence down the right flank. Luiz dragged his shot past the post in the 27th minute. Six minutes later, Conceicao rattled the outside of the woodwork with a powerful effort.
Parma had already flashed two warnings of their own. Cristian Ordonez spurned a chance in the 13th minute, then Balal Toure whipped a dangerous cross towards Simone Lontani two minutes later, only for nobody to turn it home.
Jonathan David almost broke the deadlock for the hosts in first-half stoppage time. Locatelli and Randal Kolo Muani carved out the opening, but Parma's defence hacked his shot clear and the sides went in level.

Gonzalez opens the way
Juventus began the second half at a quicker tempo. Kolo Muani squandered two chances in the 56th minute, before Spalletti brought on Nicolas Gonzalez in place of David in the 57th minute.
The substitute needed little time to make his mark. His first shot went just wide of the goal in the 61st minute, but a minute later he opened the scoring, firing an effort that rebounded off the post before he followed up and buried it into the net.
Still hunting a second, Juventus kept pressing. Kolo Muani wasted a one-on-one in the 70th minute when Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi excelled to deny him. Parma, by contrast, rarely troubled Juventus goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and their balls reached the hosts' penalty area just nine times up to the 72nd minute.

Koepmeiners wraps up the job
Spalletti reshuffled in the 86th minute, Cambiaso limping off injured and Koopmeiners taking his place. Two minutes later, the Dutchman settled it. Kolo Muani fed Locatelli, who teed up Koopmeiners on the left edge of the box, and a precise left-footed strike nestled into the bottom corner. 2-0, 88 minutes gone.
Parma pushed for a way back in the closing stages but never carved out a genuine chance. Abdoulaye Kounati went into the book in the 90+3rd minute for a foul on Kolo Muani, and that was that. Juventus had their 2-0 win.
