    • Fiorentina
    • 90+3' It's all over! Juventus go top of Serie A on goal difference, and will wait to see what Inter can do against Sampdoria tomorrow.
    • 89' Juve: Poulsen on for Zanetti - purely a time-wasting measure.
    • 88' Juve win a corner on their left-hand side and there is no doubt they will take their time over this. When it eventually comes in Fiorentina head it clear with ease.
    • 86' Amauri plays a low cross right in front of goal but there is nobody on hand to finish...
    • 84' What a chance for Sebastian Giovinco to wrap the game up. He is clean through against Frey, but delays his shot and the Frenchman smothers it. We have seen some great goalkeeping here tonight.
    • 82' Buffon comes to the rescue again for Juve to claim a deflected pass that is heading towards Gilardino.
    • 79' Del Piero also reacted angrily to his substitution, and made a big show of applauding the crowd. All may not be well in the Juve dressing room.
    • 77' Juventus bring on Giovinco for Del Piero. The crowd do not like it and whistle their disapproval at coach Claudio Ranieri.
    • 72' Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli brings on Bonazzoli for Santana and goes for a 4-4-2 formation.
    • 71' GILARDINO!! He forces a superb save from Buffon with a delicate diagonal effort, but they don't call him the world's best keeper for nothing and he tips it behind for a corner!
    • 69' Del Piero comes close to making it two, but he is leaning back and sends his shot over the bar!
    • 66' A bit of afters between Cristiano Zanetti and Felipe sees both men's names go into the referee's book.
    • 61' BRILLIANT AGAIN BY FREY! He makes a jaw-dropping save to deny Zdenek Grygera after super build-up play by Del Piero and Marchionni.
    • 56' What a chance for Jovetic!! Buffon can only parry Gilardino's diagonal shot, but Jovetic sends the rebound well wide. Poor effort!
    • 51' Olof Mellberg is doing a good job denying Mario Santana space - it is almost a man-marking assignment on the visitors' playmaker.
    • 46' Back under way, with no personnel changes from either side.
    • 45+3' Half-time in an exciting game in Turin - Juve lead it 1-0.
    • 45+1' What a chance!! Gamberini and Kroldrup are both completely unmarked at the far post, but they get in each other's way and contrive to collectively head the ball wide!
    • 44' Sensational double save by Sebastien Frey!! Marchionni races into the box, turns Kroldrup and sees his shot parried, then the goalkeeper uses his legs to keep out the follow-up!
    • 39' After a rocky 10 minutes or so, Juventus seem to have wrested control of the game back from Fiorentina.
    • 35' Pavel Nedved hit a fulminating free-kick from 35 yards, but it flashes wide of Frey's goal!
    • 34' Fiorentina are livid about that decision that has denied them a route back into the game. Lucky Juve - it's almost like the 'good' old days.
    • 32' GOAL WRONGLY DISALLOWED!! Gialardino pounces after Buffon spills ashot and the offside flag goes up - but the replay shows he was onside. Seconds earlier Fiorentina hit the bar through a Mario Santana header!
    • 26' Grygera is guilty of obstruction on Jovetic and that is the game's first booking.
    • 25' Gilardino collects the ball inside the box but Gianluigi Buffon is out almost instantly at his feet to make a fine save!
    • 22' Pavel Nedved has an immediate chance to make it two from out on the left side... shoots just wide!
    • 21' GOOOOOLLL!!! Claudio Marchisio opens the scoring with a fantastic goal!! Del Piero spots his surging run into the box and finds him with a sensational ball... and he slides the ball past Frey from a tight angle!
    • 19' A real chance now for the visitors as Jovetic gets away down the left wing... he is stopped by a late offside flag, and it isn't too pleased at that decision.
    • 15' Amauri beats one, beats another, and another.. but the finish does not match the approach play and Fiorentina survive.
    • 11' Big penalty should for Fiorentina as Jovetic goes down in the box, but referee Saccani waves the appeal away!
    • 9' Del Piero!! Attempts to loft a shot over Sebastien Frey from the edge of the box but sends his shot over.
    • 7' Marchionni cuts inside from the right-hand side and strikes a left-footed shot that appears to deflect behind off a defender but it is a goal-kick.
    • 4' Juve are without a number of injured players and are relying on the inconsistent Nicola Legrottagflie at the back. He makes a decent start, heading clear a Gobbi cross from the Fiorentina right.
    • 1' We're under way! Juve are playing from left to right in their black and white stripes. Fiorentina are also in their first-choice kit of purple. Or rather violet.
