With Yildiz out, unusual suspects propel Juventus to victory vs. Parma
Goals from unexpected places gave Juve their second win in two this season.
Turin, Italy - On August 29, 2026, Juventus secured a 2-0 victory against Parma Calcio at Allianz Stadium, with unorthodox contributors Nico González and Teun Koopmeiners propelling the team to an unexpected triumph. The match served as a morale booster for a struggling Juventus, who were dealing with the absence of their star player Kenan Yildiz, who was set to undergo surgery for a broken metatarsal.
Yildiz's injury had left the Bianconeri without their creative spark, but González and Koopmeiners stepped up to fill the void, marking their first appearances in a competitive game for Juve. González scored a deflected goal off his own rebound in the 79th minute, while Koopmeiners netted a brilliant finish in the 88th minute, sealing the win for Juventus.
The surprise outcome allowed the team to regroup and focus on their upcoming match against AC Milan.
