The Old Lady got off to a winning start as Stefan Lichtsteiner opened the scoring. Andrea Pirlo sporting a beard sent in a low grounder from a free kick which Parma’s goalie, Antonio Mirante seems to have gathered before it broke the plane of the goal but after refusing to award a goal the referee reversed his decision consulting with the linesman.
Juve’s coach Antonio Conte lost his appeal and is banned from coaching the team on match day for the next 10 months.
