Milan, Italy: AC Milan fell to a 2-1 defeat at Parma on Saturday as the seven-time European champions continued their slow start to life in Serie A under new coach Paulo Fonseca. Matteo Cancellieri pushed home the decisive goal 13 minutes before the end of an entertaining encounter at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in which Parma defied their newly-promoted status. The 22-year-old winger perfectly met Pontus Almqvist's low cross to score his first goal since being loaned to Parma by Lazio, who lost 2-1 at Udinese.
Milan have collected one point from their first two league matches under Portuguese Fonseca, whose team looked set to go on to take the win when in the 66th minute Christian Pulisic levelled Dennis Man's early close-range finish. However, Parma were dangerous every time they went on the counter-attack and could have been out of sight by half-time had their finishing not been so wayward. Milan didn't really wake up until after the half-hour mark when they tested Zion Suzuki three times in the space of two minutes, but it was still the hosts who were the more dangerous.
Simon Sohm dragged wide a great chance to double Parma's lead four minutes before the break after more excellent work from Man, this time bursting down the right and cutting in before laying off for his Swiss team-mate. And Valentin Mihaila somehow managed not to score when set clean through on goal by Ange-Yoan Bonny, dawdling on the ball and allowing Fikayo Tomori to close a yawning gap that had been left .
