Parma hosted defending champions AC Milan in the second round of the Italian top-flight soccer league in an exciting matchup. The match was full of suspense and passion from the beginning, and in the end, Parma won 2-1 against Milan with excellent teamwork and efficient offense, leaving the defending champions without a win in two rounds at the beginning of the season.
In the first half of the match, Parma showed great efficiency in offense. Only a few minutes after the start, Parma made use of a quick counter-attack, Valeri made a precise pass from the side road, and Dennis Mann, who followed up in the middle of the road, seized the opportunity and scored a powerful header straight to the corner of the goal, which opened the first record for Parma. The goal not only sent the home fans into a frenzy, but also sounded the alarm for Milan's backline.
However, Milan did not get discouraged and they showed great resilience and adjustment ability in the second half. As the game progressed, Milan gradually strengthened their pressing and coordination in front of the field, and finally equalized the score in the 60th minute when Leo sent an exquisite assist to Pulisic, who calmly pushed a shot into the goal in the penalty area. This goal not only gave Milan the hope of reversal, but also ignited the passion of the visiting fans.
Parma didn't let Milan's celebrations last long. Just a few minutes later, Parma took advantage of a quick counter-attack and sent in a precise cross from Almqvist, which was met by Cancellieri at the back post with a powerful header, making the score 2-1. This goal broke Milan's morale, and although they tried their best to fight back in the following game, they were unable to make the score 2-1 again.
In the end, Parma got three valuable points by beating AC Milan 2-1 at home with goals from Dennis Mann and Cancelleri. The Milan team, on the other hand, was in a difficult situation as they failed to win in the first two rounds of the new season. This victory not only boosted Parma's morale, but also injected confidence and motivation for their next matches. Milan, on the other hand, will need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible in order to cope with the fierce competition in the league.
