  "account": "Juventus secured their second consecutive victory at the beginning of the Serie A season with a 2-0 win against Parma. In contrast, Fiorentina's centenary celebrations were marred by a 3-0 loss to promoted Frosinone. Luciano Spalletti's team fought hard for their three points, relying on second-half goals from Nicolas Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners. Juve aims to recover from a poor previous season where they finished sixth and missed out on the Champions League. This victory marked Fiorentina's second straight clean sheet since goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario's loan signing from Tottenham. Gonzalez expressed his emotions, emphasizing the significance of the win. Jhon Lucumi and Randal Kolo Muani also made their debuts. The Old Lady haven't won the Scudetto since 2020 but are pleased with their strong start. Fiorentina, however, failed to bounce back from their 4-0 defeat to Roma last weekend. Legends like Gabriel Batistuta and Claudio Ranieri attended the match, but the team's recent performances have fallen short of expectations.",
  "summary": "ROME: Juventus saw off Parma 2-0 to make it back-to-back wins at the start of the Serie A season on Saturday, while Fiorentina’s celebrations of the club’s 100th anniversary were spoilt by a 3-0 home defeat by promoted Frosinone.",
