- 88' Juventus visit Chelsea on Wednesday night in the Champions League. Chelsea will surely be studying that defence.
87' Leonardo Melazzi has replaced Luca Antonelli for Genoa.- 86' Borriello wins the ball in the area with a header, but Immobile wallops the ball over the bar from five yards out. Difficult angle to finish from there. More problems in that Juve defence.
- 85' Juventus's unbeaten run goes to 42 now. All change in this second period.
84' GOAL! Asamoah nets the third goal for Juve. They lead 3-1 and that is surely game over. Ball broke off Granqvist from Vucinic's pass. No chance for Frey.- 83' Juventus trying to see out this match in the closing five minutes or so by keeping the ball.
- 82' A change for Genoa with Sampirisi departing to be replaced by Damiano Ferronetti.
- 81' Asamoah drags a shot at goal, but Frey is equal to the task in making the stop.

63' Offside flag goes up against Giovinco from the pass by Caceres. Had to get that one away earlier.- 62' This match is anybody's now. Difficult to say with any degree of certainty how this one is going to work out. Conte looks happy enough up in one of those executive boxes.

- 58' Barzagli enduring a bit of a nightmate at the moment. Toiling to sprinkle this game with gold dust.
- 57' Borriello hits the bar with a head from the delivery by Jankovic. How close was that to the second? That Juventus rearguard again exposed badly.

- 50' Sampirisi heads wide from five yards out. Glorious chance with Barzagli all at sea. What was the Juve defence doing there? So fortunate not to concede.

- 48' Jankovic rises to head out his own box. Pirlo picks up the loose ball. Sampirisi then clears the danger.

- 40' Giaccherini gets an eye at goal from the edge of the area. Knocks the volley straight into the paws of Frey. Some excellent work by De Ceglie to keep the ball in play.
- 39' It was Bonucci who made the block when it seemed certain Borriello was going to add the second goal of the game for the home side.
- 38' Giaccherini with a delightful pass into the box for Matri, who was just offside. But referee didn't spot it. Can't take your eye off this game for a second.
- 37' Chance for Juve from nowhere as Matri lifts the ball over the bar with just Frey to beat. That should have been the equaliser.
- 36' Not sure Juve have played so badly in a long time in defence.
- 35' Golden chance for Borriello to add the second, but a Juve defender gets back to make a frantic block with just Buffon to beat. Juve all over the show at the back again.
- 34' Juventus with almost 70 per cent of possession as Frey comes off his goal to collect the high ball in front of the pint-sized Giovinco.
- 33' Juventus on the ball in the box. Genoa trying to let their opponents play in front of them. Juve suddenly beginning to find themselves.
- 32' Juventus no nearer finding this equalising goal here. Genoa continue to hustle all over the park.
- 31' Pirlo picks out Giovinci with the corner, but the forward ends up lifting the ball over the bar from inside the Genoa box. Horrid finish really.
- 30' Antonelli taking no chances as he nods the ball behind his own goal from the cross by De Ceglie.
- 29' Matri giving the ball away far too easily before tugging on the shirt of Jankovic. Poor stuff from Juventus. Poor stuff from Matri.

- 27' Juventus fighting hard to maintain this unbeaten start to the season as Bovo nods out the cross from Caceres.
- 26' Giovinco tries to open up his box of tricks, but the cross into the box isn't the greatest as Genoa clear the danger from deep in their own box.
- 25' Jankovic drills the free-kick straight into the wall as Juventus look to break at some speed from deep in their own half.
- 24' Pirlo has picked up a booking after arguing about that booking from Jankovic's effort. Another free-kick chance for the home side.
- 23' Bonucci has been penalised for a handball in the wall. That is a harsh decision and then some. Now Genoa have a free-kick some 10 yards further forward.
- 22' Bertolacci taken out of the action late by Bonucci and that is a free-kick chance for Genoa from 30 yards out. Worth a bash here.
- 21' Juventus can't seem to get up to the same pace as their bustling opponents. An energetic start from Genoa continues into the heart of the half.
- 20' Another golden chance for the home side as Pirlo loses the ball. Borriello slips in Jankovic, but he knocks the shot wide of goal.
- 19' Bovo clears the danger from the cross by Caceres. Juve trying to hit back immediately here.
- 18' Immobile picks up a yellow card for celebrating the moment with the fans behind the goal. Stunning moment for those Genoa fans.

- 12' Borriello penalised for pushing Chiellini to the deck with a late shove. Genoa continue trying to spark an attack or two.
- 11' De Ceglie and Caceres the most potent weapons in that Juve attack up to this point. Pirlo trying to pull the strings.
- 10' Juventus trying to get some rythmn into their passing play as Chiellini is penalised for pushing in the home box.
- 9' Nothing more than a hopeful ball up the park by Antonelli, but the Juventus central defence nowhere to be seen.

- 3' Borriello again causing all sorts of problems as he hammers a volley inches wide of the Juve goal with the visting defenders all over the place at the back.
