    Time:90'
    • Catania
    • Juventus
    • 90+4' Full-time, and Juventus have scraped a narrow victory - heartbreak for Catania!
    • 90+1' GOOOOLLLL!!! POULSEN SCORES WHAT MUST SURELY BE THE WINNER!! Nedved's corner is headed down by Amauri, Terlizzi completely misses his kick and Poulsen slams the ball in from close range!
    • 90' Three minutes of stoppage time are shown on the board as Juve win a corner on the left side.
    • 88' Nedved flights a Juve free-kick into the Catania area and finds the head of Poulsen... glances it into the arms of Bizzarri!
    • 85' Amauri tries a long-range effort and Bizzarri has to tip the ball over with a decent save.
    • 83' Off goes Tiago, and Christian Poulsen replaces him for the final few minutes.
    • 80' Final change from Catania - Terlizzi replaces Potenza.
    • 77' Legrottaglie almost scores an own goal with a looping header that nearly drops in, but Juve survive.
    • 74' Buffon makes another fine save for Juventus, denying Miramoto who had strayed just offside but the flag stayed down.
    • 70' Despite their man advantage, Catania look to be tiring, and bring on Carboni for Izco as we go in to the final 20 minutes.
    • 65' Tiago goes close for Juve, dragging a 20-yard shot just wide!
    • 61' Juve counter-attack from a Catania corner and it is the unlikely figure of Sissoko who is furthest forward. Tedesco bring him down with a desperate challenge and that will be a yellow card, no question.
    • 59' Sissoko sees yellow now, and that brings the bookings count to seven.
    • 57' Long shot from Nedved, left-footed... it goes well over.
    • 54' That equaliser was no more than Catania deserve and they continue to pour forward - they can smell blood.
    • 51' GOL GOL GOL GOL GOOOOOOLLLL!!! Catania are level!! Buffon tips away a superb Mascara header but Morimoto is on hand to tuck away the rebound! One-all!
    • 51' Juventus change: Marco Marchionni replaces Mauro Camoranesi.
    • 50' Baiocco takes a hopeful crack at goal but sends it high over the bar.
    • 46' The second half gets under way with no more personnel changes and Catania are now playing in a 3-4-3 formation.
    • 45' Half-time in Sicily!
    • 45+2' Martinez drives a cross-shot - Buffon saves but it might be going wide anyway. Why didn't Martinez square it for the unmarked Morimoto?? Terrible decision!
    • 45' Two minutes of stoppage time to be played.
    • 43' Izco brings down Sissoko with a crude challenge - and it's a wonder that the referee does not show another yellow card.
    • 41' Nedved drives in a free-kick that Amauri gets a toe to!! It is a difficult chance, but he deflects the ball over!
    • 40' Yet another card from referee Morganti - this time to Catania's Matias Silvestre
    • 35' Catania are now dominating possession and territory, but Juventus look dangerous on the break... Amauri breaks away and Marco Biagianti gets away with a bit of shirt-pulling as he nicks the ball off the Brazilian.
    • 33' Catania boss Walter Zenga make a change - Jorge Martinez replaces Capuano.
    • 29' Yet another yellow, as Legrottaglie hacks Tedesco right on the edge of the Juve box - good chance this for Catania... but it is headed behind for a corner.
    • 25' Around Serie A: There are only two other goals in Italy this afternoon - Siena are a goal to the good against Sampdoria, while Cicinho has given Roma the lead at home to Genoa.
    • 22' Juventus have sensibly opted to slow things down and contain their opponents.
    • 18' WHAT A SAVE BY BUFFON!!! Potenza heads towards the top-right corner from close range and Buffon denies him with a stunning reflex tip over the bar. He's a useful keeper, you know.
    • 16' Now Amauri is yellow-carded - Juventus are starting to lose their discipline here.
    • 13' RED CARD!!! Iaquinta is sent off for two yellow cards in two minutes! The first was for taking his shirt off, the second for a clumsy foul in midfield! Juve down to 10 men, and an eventful few minutes for Vincenzo Iaquinta.
    • 12' Iaquinta took his shirt off after scoring the goal and has been booked.
    • 11' GOOOOOLLL!!! Too easy for Juventus!! Camoranesi clips the free-kick into the box and Iaquintav buries an emphatic close-range header!
    • 10' Cynical challenge by Stovini to upend the sprinting Iaquinta - he knows exactly what he is doing and is duly booked.
    • 8' Morimoto surges past the Juve offside trap and races through on goal... Buffon denies him! Slack defending from the visitors!
    • 6' There is a good early rhythm to the game here with both sides looking positive.
    • 2' Iaquinta directs an early header on goal, but it is an easy save for Bizzarri in the Catania goal.
    • 1' We are under way at the Stadio Massimino in sunny Catania! The home side are playing from left to right in light blue and red stripes, Juventus are in gold.
    • - Alessandro Del Piero is on the bench for Juve, who go with Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta up front. Gianluigi Buffon takes the captain's armband.
    • - Welcome to LIVE coverage of Catania versus Juventus! Defeats against Udinese and Cagliari have seen Juve slip 10 points behind leaders Internazionale - they desperately need a win today.
