    Time:90'
    • Juventus
    • Roma
    • 90 FULL-TIME: Juve close out a very comfortable win; Roma just didn't threaten, especially in the second half.
    • 87 No chance for Roma now; they needed to take their chances early on in the first half, when they were briefly the better side.
    • 83 Olof Mellberg lands heavily after being barged in the air by Baptista; he's a tough lad, and he's soon back on his feet.
    • 79 Nedved is replaced for the final ten minutes after another age-defying performance.
    • 77 ...Good delivery into the box, but Nicola Legrottaglie heads clear on the edge of his six-yard box.
    • 76 Roma win a free-kick out on the left...not much time to get themselves back into it...they need to make this count...
    • 72 Vincenzo Iaquinta comes on to spice up the Juventus strike force...
    • 70 Amauri just fails to bring down a decent ball played over to him at the back post; finally Roma show something going forward.
    • 66 ...Chance wasted...the free-kick is over-hit and misses everyone waiting in the box.
    • 65 Baptista is floored by an ugly takle from Sissoko...chance for Roma to deliver a decent ball...
    • 64 Nedved gets down the left and tosses in a decent cross...headed clear under pressure by Philippe Mexes
    • 60 There is no sign that Roma are going to get back into this match; they are just not creating any chances worthy of the name.
    • 55 Mohamed Sissoko scuffs a drive from the edge of the area as a corner is half-cleared to him.
    • 53 Del Piero narrowly fails to turn home a low cross from the right...Juve are really dominating now.
    • 49 GOAL! JUVE DOUBLE THEIR LEAD! Marco Marchionni gets to a pass moments before Doni and deftly lifts the ball over the keeper to double the home side's lead!
    • 48 OVERHEAD KICK! Amauri meets a cross from the right with an overhead kick from eight yards...it's not struck too well, though, and Doni palms clear.
    • 46 The second half is underway...
    • 45 HALF-TIME: Good half, the highlight of which was undoubtedly Del Piero's stunning free-kick.
    • 43 Amauri goes down in the box claiming a penalty...no dice, says the referee...Daniele De Rossi goes mental at the Juve man for the blatant dive. Good on 'im.
    • 39 Del Piero has the ball in the net again...but his effort is chalked off for an infrigement...to be honest, I'm not precisely sure what infringement, but there you go.
    • 37 GOAL! WHAT A STRIKE! Del Piero crashes a stunning free-kick into the top corner from 30 yards! He might be old, but he's still good.
    • 33 OOOH! Giorgio Chiellini brings a save out of the Roma keeper with a close-range header as he meets an inswinging free-kick. Good spell for the home side.
    • 32 Great challenge from Juan, who slides the ball to safety after it almost fell to Amauri
    • 31 Christian Molinaro makes a well-timed challenge to knock the ball out for a corner as Mirko Vucinic chased down a long ball...the Roma man half-heartedly appealed for a penalty, but the defender clearly got the ball.
    • 28 Daniele De Rossi is doing some fine work in defence for his side, tracking back and relieving pressure with some timely interceptions...
    • 25 Again Baptista is penalised for climbing on his man as they contested a free-kick in the box.
    • 23 Roma win a corner...Baptista wins the header, nodding the ball into the six-yard box...the referee spots a push and hands the free-kick to Juve.
    • 22 John Arne Riise clips over a cross with the outside of his left boot...just in front of the waiting Roma men in the box.
    • 21 Julio Baptista heads over the bar at the back stick after muscling his way onto a free-kick lofted into the box.
    • 20 OFF THE POST! Baptista gets the merest of touches on a cross from the right from Christian Panucci...the ball beats the keeper but hits the far post...and bounces across the face of goal before being cleared!
    • 18 Alessandro Del Piero can't quite gather the ball after a nice pass from Pavel Nedved on the edge of the box...Doni slides out and claims.
    • 16 Alessandro Del Piero drops deep to pick up the ball...he shifts it onto his left boot...but his low shot flies wide.
    • 14 Rodrigo Taddei meets a cross from the right with a header...well off target. Didn't trouble anyone.
    • 12 POOR! Daniele De Rossi finds space in the box after a nice pass from Simone Perrotta...Mirko Vucinic waits five yards out for the pass to open the scoring...but the low centre is easily intercepted!
    • 10 Roma have settled down after riding through a strong start from Juve.
    • 7 ...Del Piero takes the set-piece, but Juve are penalised for having a man pushing in the Roma wall...
    • 6 Juve win a free-kick right on the edge of the box when David Pizarro puts his hands up to block Del Piero's fierce drive...almost a penalty.
    • 5 Simone Perrotta hurls a Rory Delap-esque long throw into the box...Juve deal with the problem significantly better than Arsenal did today, and clear their lines.
    • 3 A dangerous cross from the left almost falls to a Juve man as the home side make a fast start out of the blocks here.
    • 1 We're underway in Turin...
