Key match details
Roma had a lively start to the match, with Lorenzo Pellegrini narrowly missing the target after a clever pick-out by Bryan Cristante. Juventus, despite their superior form, took time to find their footing, only testing Mile Svilar with a tame effort from Dusan Vlahovic on the cusp of halftime.
Thiago Motta shuffled the pack in a bid to boost his team’s chances, as he introduced his shiny new signings, Teun Koopmeiners and Francisco Conceicao, at the interval.
However, the substitutes failed to spark an immediate transformation, as both teams toiled to gain a foothold. In a bid to break the deadlock, Daniele De Rossi summoned Paulo Dybala from the bench to face his former club.
Despite a flurry of changes from both managers, the Italian heavyweights struggled to create clear-cut chances, with neither Svilar nor Michele Di Gregorio seriously threatened. Ultimately, a lack of clinical edge up front led to a stalemate, allowing Juventus to preserve their unbeaten start to the season ahead of the international break.
