Inter Loses 4-3 At Palermo; Juventus Wins 4-1

Inter Milan lost 4-3 at Palermo and Juventus opened Serie A with a sparkling 4-1 win over Parma on Sunday as new managers Gian Piero Gasperini and Antonio Conte made contrasting debuts for the two Italian powerhouses.

In Inter’s first match since Samuel Eto’o transferred to Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, the biggest problem for Gasperini was his porous three-man defense.

Palermo captain Fabrizio Miccoli scored two key goals, including one in the 86th minute that broke a 2-2 deadlock, and South Americans Abel Hernandez and Mauricio Pinilla also found the target for the Sicilian squad.

It was the first time Inter allowed four goals in a league match in more than seven years, since falling 4-1 to Roma in March, 2004.

“We struggled with their counterattack and obviously those situations are not acceptable and must be improved,” Gasperini said.
