    • - Thanks for joining us today... the result is good news for the title race; Inter's lead has been cut to six points again! Milan and Udinese are in action later on, make sure you join us then!
    • 90'+3 There goes the final whistle! And Juve run out 3-1 winners!
    • 89' Three minutes of added time to be played.
    • 81' GOAL! AMAURI SEALS ALL THREE POINTS FOR JUVE! It's another headed goal for the visitors, the Brazilian getting on the end of Marchionni's whipped free-kick into the box amid non-existent marking from the hosts' defence! 3-1 and all over!
    • 80' Manfredini goes into the book for a hack from behind on Del Piero... this time the booking is deserved.
    • 76' The home crowd are willing their side on, but with just a quarter of an hour remaining, it's not looking good for them.
    • 70' Time is running out for Atalanta to get something from this game.
    • 66' Oooh! Amauri is inches away from getting his head to Mellberg's excellent cross into the box! Great stuff from the former Villa man.
    • 65' De Ascentis is booked after a collision with Del Piero! There's no way that was a foul! The Atalanta man can consider himself very unlucky.
    • 62' Oooh! Nearly brilliant by Amauri, who attempts a scissor kick from the edge of the box! It doesn't come off though and he looks like a bit of a spanner... such a thin line between brilliance and comedy.
    • 61' But Del Piero's kick is easily cleared at the near post, and Atalanta breathe again.
    • 60' Ferreira Pinto brings down Del Piero, and Juve have a free-kick in a dangerous position.
    • 51' Vieri's causing problems in the Juve box again! But there's no way through this time...
    • 49' The crowd are back in this one now! And Juve need to keep their cool as De Ceglie is booked for a trip...
    • 48' GOAL! VIERI NETS WITH HIS FIRST TOUCH! And Atalanta are right back in it! The substitute shows he still has got what it takes to score at the highest level as he stoops to power a header from a corner past Manninger! Game on!
    • 46' Back underway in Bergamo! And Christian Vieri has come on for Atalanta at the break.
    • 45' There goes the half-time whistle! And Juve head in two goals to the good! So far so good for Claudio Ranieri's side.
    • 43' The pitch is cutting up badly as the half nears a conclusion... it's quite heavy going for the players, despite the bright sunshine.
    • 39' Chielline becomes the first player to go into the book for a non-challenge on Doni, who makes a real meal out of it. No! In fact it's brandished at Doni for his dive! Well done, referee!
    • 38' GOAL! ANOTHER FOR JUVE! It's Legrottaglie who rises highest again to meet a corner with a firm header past Coppola! 2-0 to Juve all of a sudden!
    • 35' Ferreira Pinto looks to hit back... but he can't control a through ball and he's offside anyway!
    • 31' That's harsh on Atalanta, but Juve are so good at doing that... they've soaked up a bit of pressure, rode their luck a bit and hit on the break.
    • 30' GOAL! And it's Juve who take the lead through that man Alessandro Del Piero! There's a hint of offside as Marchionni is released down the right wing, but there's nothing wrong with his cross, but teases Coppola off his line... he misses it and Del Piero is there to knock the ball into an empty net! 1-0 Juve!
    • 28' Ferreira Pinto and De Ceglie clash in the middle of the park and the medics are waved on... there'll be a break in play while both players receive treatment.
    • 24' Legottaglie heads over from a Juve free-kick... that's not the first time a Juve player has met a cross today... ominous signs for Atalanta who may come to rue not having put in one of their earlier chances.
    • 20' Atalanta still on top, but still no breakthrough.
    • 16' Atalanta have started by far the brighter of the two sides... Juve will need to be on their game if they are to take anything from this one.
    • 15' Here goes Floccari again... but this time he's flagged for offside...
    • 13' Whta a miss by Floccari! Valdes delivers the chance on a plate for him with a super cross... all the striker has to do is nod past Manninger, but all he can manage is a weak header over the bar!
    • 11' GOAL! Chiellini heads home! But it won't count! The flag's already up for offside and replays show about four Juve players in an offside position...
    • 5' Great start by the hosts!
    • 4' FLOCCARI! Oooh! Manninger is in a position to make a great save this time as the Atalanta striker unleashes a well-struck volley from just inside the box following a terrible slip by Chiellini!
    • 3' Oooh! Doni launches a free-kick up over the wall and inches wide of the post, with Manninger rooted to the spot! So close to an early opener!
    • 2' But Atalanta are no slouches, and they have European aspirations for next season.
    • 2' The pressure is on Juve today... they can ill afford to slip up after Internazionale extended their lead at the top of Serie A to whopping nine points in Siena last night.
    • 1' Ready to go in a sunny Bergamo! And we're off!
