Serie A | Parma 1-1 Monza: First points for struggling sides Simone Lontani came off the bench for his debut Serie A goal to cancel out the Jay Robinson opener, as both Parma and Monza picked up their first points of the season. This was an early relegation dogfight, with both teams still looking for their first points of the season. At least Monza managed to eliminate Torino to reach the Coppa Italia Round of 16, whereas Parma crashed out to Cremonese . The hosts lost Adrian Bernabé along with Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, but gave deadline day signing Diego Carlos his debut. Gustavo Varela, Patrick Cutrone, Jan Ziolkowski, Patrick Ciurria and Matteo Pessina were injured for Ivan Juric’s side. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Dany Mota tested Edoardo Corvi one-on-one after sprinting forward, and Monza did take the lead when Jay Robinson hit a right-foot scorcher into the far bottom corner from the edge of the area.

Just moments later, Parma got their equaliser when Simone Lontani steered his effort through a sea of legs with the inside of the right boot into the far bottom corner from 12 yards. It was the teenage ex-Milan youth product’s first Serie A goal, after two this season in the Coppa Italia.

A dangerous Birindelli ball flashed across the face of goal beyond both Folorunsho and Robinson, but the spoils were ultimately shared. Parma 1-1 Monza Robinson 38 (M), Lontani 60 (P)
