    Time:90'
    • Fiorentina
    • Juventus
    • 90'+5 There goes the final whistle! And Fiorentina nick a point at the death!
    • 90'+3 Oooh! What an effort from Amauri! He creates space to let off a shot from a tight angle! And Frey is forced into tipping behind for a corner!
    • 89' GOAL! Incredible! Gilardino levels at the death for Fiorentina! It's a real opportunist goal... he gets the ball with his back to goal... one touch later and he volley's on the turn to find the corner and give the Viola a point!
    • 83' Oh dear, Felipe Melo is shown a second yellow for a nasty looking challenge on Poulsen and he's promptly shown a red! Fiorentina down to 10 men for the final moments of the game.
    • 80' Time running out for Fiorentina to find an equaliser...
    • 75' Molinaro off and De Ceglie on for Juve.
    • 73' Gilardino's through again! He takes it past Mellberg before rounding Buffon! But just as he's about to pull the trigger from a tight angle he loses his balance and the ball goes well wide!
    • 68' Free kick not to Fiorentina... Vargas over it... he steps up, but fires wide!
    • 66' Camoranesi goes into the book for a rather innocuous challenge on Poulsen...
    • 63' Pazzini comes on to replace Osvaldo as the Viola look to find an equaliser!
    • 60' Gilardino gets on the end of Jovetic's cross but his header hits the back of his team-mate Osvaldo and Buffon is able to collect!
    • 54' Fiorentina make a change now... off goes Almiron and on comes young talent Jovetic! He's one to watch.
    • 49' Neat work from Camoranesi on the right hand side... he plays it to Del Piero, but the move breaks down when Gamberini steps in.
    • 46' Back underway at the Artemio Franchi in Florence!
    • 45'+2 There goes the whistle and Juve go in at the end of the first half a goal to the good.
    • 45' Del Piero's through on goal here! There's no flag.... but he delays too long and Frey is allowed to make the save!
    • 43' What a miss from Amauri! The striker really should have put Juve two up there! But his header flashes wide of the post and the score remains one-nil!
    • 39' GOAL! Nedved gets Juve's season up and running! The Czech has the easy task of tapping the ball across the line after great work from Amauri to get to the by-line and cut the ball back! One-nil Juve!
    • 35' Pel Piero fires goalwards at the second attempt! But it's straight at Frey, who does well to get his body behind it!
    • 34' Here's another yellow, this time for Felipe for following through on Grygera... that one looked more like a karate kick!
    • 28' Yellow now for Nedved as he trips Santana... it's not the worst foul ever and Santana makes a three-course meal out of it, but the ref reaches for his pocket nonetheless.
    • 22' Grygera goes into the book for going into the back of Osvaldo... deserved.
    • 19' Fiorentina completely cock up a free kick... and Juve break with Amauri! But having taken the ball nicely on his chest, the Brazilian fires wide of the mark!
    • 16' Real chance for Del Piero to open the scoring! But the Juve veteran doesn't time his volley very well and Frey is able to make the save standing up!
    • 12' Fiorentina race down the other end... Almiron has the ball as it opens up in front of him! But that's a poor effort from the former Juve man! He slices it wide of the mark!
    • 10' Marchisio lets fly from distance! The ball sails over the bar though and Frey isn't called into action.
    • 8' Superb control from Amauri to bring down Poulsen's ball forward! But his second touch is not the best and Frey is able to come out and claim at his feet!
    • 5' Amauri manages to get his head to a cross at the other end! But the summer signing from Palermo can't get any king of power or direction on it and the Viola defence can clear their lines.
    • 2' Oooh! Chance right from the kick off as Gilardino nearly gets on the end of a cross into the box! Early warning for the Juve defence!
    • 1' Okay, here we go! Underway in Florence!
    • - Both clubs will be hoping to mount a challenge for the title this season and with both Inter, Roma and Milan slipping up in their opening games they will be keen to seize the early advantage.
