Parma Defeats AC Milan 2-1 in Serie A

AC Milan suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat to promoted Parma in Serie A, marking the first time the Rossoneri have lost to Parma in the top flight since 2014. Dennis Man opened the scoring for Parma just 83 seconds into the match, followed by a 66th-minute equalizer from Christian Pulisic for Milan. However, Matteo Cancellieri restored Parma's lead in the 77th minute, capitalizing on a setup by Pontus Almqvist. Milan, who have only managed one point from their opening two matches, were unable to convert their 17 shots into more than one goal, reflecting an xG of 2.01. This defeat extends Paulo Fonseca's wait for his first win as Milan's coach, leaving the team in 16th place in the standings. The loss comes after Milan's previous match ended in a 2-2 draw against Torino, highlighting ongoing challenges in their early season performance.
