A men's soccer player celebrates after scoring.

Canada forward Jonathan David, of Ottawa, scored in his Serie A debut to set Juventus on the way to a 2-0 win over Parma in their season opener on Sunday.

David joined Juventus in July on a free transfer after his five-year contract at Lille expired.

Juventus ended the match with 10 men after Andrea Cambiaso was sent off seven minutes from time but Dusan Vlahovic doubled the Bianconeri's lead moments later.

Yildiz also set up Juve's second as a rapid counter-attack saw Vlahovic send him down the right and then race from the centre circle into the box to tap home the return pass.

That came shortly after Cambiaso earned himself a needless red card. He had gone up together with Mathias Lovik for a high ball and then reacted by shoving the Parma player and appearing to strike him in the face with his arm.
