    Time:90'
    • Lazio
    • Juventus
    • 90' All over at Stadio Olimpico and the spoils are rightly shared. Juve just about shaded it, but they failed to create enough clear-cut chances and paid the penalty. The point moves them within three of Serie A leaders Inter.
    • 86' PING!!!!! Legrottaglie absolutely belts one from 25 yards and HITS THE POST!!!
    • 80' Del Piero has kicked his last ball for the evening, as Claudio Ranieri brings on Claudio Marchisio.
    • 77' Zarate is replaced by Paquale Foggia for Lazio.
    • 75' Stefan Radu is the latest man in the book, pulling down Amauri as the striker surges toward the Lazio box.
    • 70' Dabo is replaced by Lorenzo De Silvestri for Lazio.
    • 69' Lovely play from Nedved, who evades a tackle and slips in Del Piero...but Carrizo is alert to the danger and swoops to deny the mercurial Italian international.
    • 67' Molinaro unceremoniously dumps Zarate to the turf and earns himself a yellow card.
    • 64' Mourad Megni is replaced by Cristian Brocchi for Lazio.
    • 58' Del Piero in the book for a niggly little foul.
    • 56' Zarate drives forward from deep, brushes off a couple of challenges and fires swerving shot just wide of the right post.
    • 54' The ball falls to Nedved at the far post, but his first-time volley is blocked by Molinaro, who has been excellent this evening.
    • 49' Sisoko bursts forward for Juve and hits a low shot goalwards from just outside the box...Carrizo makes a meal of the save, but gathers at the second attempt.
    • 46' The second gets under way and there are no substitutions to report.
    • 45' Half-time in Rome and it's all square at 1-1. It hasn't been a firecracker by any means, but you get the feeling this match will kick into life in the second half. Juve will desperately want a win here to close the gap on Inter.
    • 41' Dabo takes Pavel Nedved out with a haymaker of a tackle by the touchline. He escapes with a booking and Nedved escapes with both legs still functioning. That was a nasty one.
    • 40' Nicola Legrottaglie sends a powerful header just over the bar from a Del Piero corner.
    • 30' GOOOOOOOAAAAALLL!!! Olof Melberg meets Alessandro Del Piero's right-wing corner and ABSOLUTELY THUNDERS A HEADER PAST JUAN PABLO CARRIZO TO MAKE IT 1-1!!!
    • 26' ALMOST TWO!!! Pandev is put through and his early shot draws a fine save from Manniger at his near post.
    • 25' GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!! And there it is, the moment of inspiration!!! Cristian Ledesma scores direct from a free-kick out by the corner flag. He whipped it in viciously from the left and Alex Manninger could do nothing to stop in flying into the far top corner. Lazio lead!!
    • 20' Lazio have had the better of the opening 20 minutes, taking seven shots at goal to Juve's two and looking by far the more likely to break the deadlock. The Juve defence looks solid, however, and it may well take a moment of inspiration to light this match up with a goal.
    • 12' Cristian Molinaro with a vital clearing header at the far post, the defender leaping powerfully with Mauro Zarate poised to meet a left-wing cross.
    • 8' Pandev is the one man on the field who looks really in the mood. He bursts down the left and sets Lazio on the counter, but Juve clear their lines.
    • 3' Goran Pandev sends a hopeful ball forward for Lazio, but a touch too hopeful and nobody can get anywhere near it. As befits Serie A, it's been a cagey opening.
    • 1' Off we go in Rome, with Lazio in their familiar light blue shirts, white shorts and white socks. Juve are in their change strip of all dark blue...almost purple.
    • - Good evening and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Lazio v Juventus in Serie A. Following Internazionale's shock defeat to Atalanta Juve have the chance to close the gap at the top. This should be a cracker!
