Possession was roughly equal as Parma created nine shots on goal to the visitors’ eight.

FeralpiSalo went close early on through Mattia Compagnon, but his shot went just wide.

The home side went ahead in the 37th minute thanks to a penalty awarded for handball against Bruno Martella.

Adrian Benedyczak continued his impressive form from last season by taking the spot kick and coolly slotting it to the left as Semuel Pizzignacco dived the wrong way.

The points were sealed for Parma in the 66th minute Adrian Bernabe sent Dennis Man’s delicate cutback low into the far post.

The visitors had a late chance to get back into the game, but Davide Belestrero’s header struck the crossbar.

It was a good start to the season for Parma who are one of the favourites to achieve promotion this season.
