    • 90+3' The full-time whistle goes at the Ennio Tardini, and Serie A leaders Juventus have been held to a 1-1 draw with Parma after Sansone cancelled out Pirlo's second-half goal. It's ended all square, and it's a pretty fair result. Thanks for joining us. Serie A table
    • 90+2' Pirlo whips over a cross from the right which Bonucci meets, but he heads wide from the near post, and that will surely be it.
    • 90+1' There is almost a good chance for Belfodil at the back post as a deep cross comes over from Acquah, but he cannot quite meet the delivery.
    • 90' Three minutes will be added at the end of the second half, with both managers urging their side to attack.
    • 89' Bonucci wins a free kick deep inside the Juventus half, and it's looking like this match is going to peter out into a draw.
    • 87' Again, Giovinco and Vucinic combine in the final third, and again the substitute tests Mirante, but he still cannot trouble the Parma keeper.
    • 85' Parma make their second change now as Afriyie Acquah replaces Marchionni.
    • 83' Substitute Mirko Vucinic jinks inside from the right and drives a low shot on target with Mirante able to make the save down low to his left!
    • 82' At the other end of the field, Belfodil thinks he has got in behind Caceres, but the offside flag goes up straight away!
    • 80' Vucinic drifts inside from the right and slides a through ball in beyond Santacroce, but Giovinco is caught offside yet again.
    • 78' GOAL! Sansone races in behind Caceres and slides a clinical finish under Buffon to level up the match late on! Parma are back on terms, and Donadoni is absolutely delighted on the touchline as he punches the air!
    • 77' Conte is barking orders at his players on the touchline, and he's not happy with their pressing up the field.
    • 75' Marchionni and Parolo combine to good effect in the middle of the field, but Belfodil has been very quiet in this second half.
    • 73' Pirlo continues to pull the strings for the visitors from deep, and Parma are struggling to even get hold of the ball at the moment.
    • 72' Zaccardo does well to chase back and tackle Giovinco to concede a corner, with Juventus piling on the pressure now.
    • 71' Pirlo attempts another through ball, but Stephan Lichtsteiner is caught offside. It's frustrating for Conte.
    • 69' Vidal again looks to pick out Giovinco, but he continues to stray offside as he mistimes his runs.
    • 67' Amauri now makes way for Nicola Sansone as Parma make their first substitution.
    • 66' Quagliarella is replaced by Vucinic as Conte makes a second change.
    • 65' Quagliarella unleashes a fierce strike from 35 yards, but it drifts over the crossbar with Pirlo having provided the assist once more.
    • 63' Padoin is replaced by De Ceglie now as Conte makes a change to freshen up his side.
    • 61' Marchionni lashes a fierce shot from range, but it is blocked away by Lichtsteiner on the edge of the Juventus box.
    • 59' Juventus keep the ball very comfortably in their own half, and Parma have to start showing some urgency now.

    • 53' Valdes attempts a through ball with a first-time pass, but Amauri is caught offside.
    • 51' GOAL! Pirlo scores with a free kick that takes a vicious deflection off Biabiany, and Juventus take the lead! It was a cruel deflection, and Mirante was left flat-footed!
    • 49' Biabiany wins a free kick after being fouled by Padoin, and neither side can get going.
    • 47' Vidal clips Gobbi in the midfield to concede a free kick in what is a scrappy start to the second half.
    • 46' The second half is under way, and neither coach has deemed it necessary to make a change just yet.
    • 45+1' The half-time whistle goes at the Ennio Tardini, and it's goalless between Parma and Juventus in their Serie A encounter. Both sides have had chances, but the league leaders have looked the more likely to break the deadlock.
    • 45' There will be just one added minute at the end of the first half, with Gabriel Paletta shown the yellow card for a foul on Giovinco.
    • 43' Gobbi does very well to dispossess Giovinco and bring the ball forward, and he's looked very bright this afternoon.
    • 42' At the other end, Parma win a corner as Barzagli races back to concede the set piece.
    • 41' Pogba is putting himself about a lot in the Parma half, and Gobbi has to make a sliding challenge to halt another dangerous run.
    • 39' Pirlo comes extremely close to breaking the deadlock with a sublime free kick from 25 yards, which Mirante has to tip wide at full stretch from the top corner of his goal!
    • 37' Pirlo whips over a testing delivery from the left, which Parma eventually clear, and Juventus are back in control.
    • 36' Conte is very animated on the touchline all of a sudden as his side ease off a bit after a good spell.
    • 35' Mirante has to be incredibly alert to race off his line and claim a high ball amid a crowd of bodies.
    • 33' A deep cross is whipped over by Vidal from the right, and Quagliarella heads on target but without sufficient power as Mirante makes a comfortable save.
    • 31' Bonucci lets fly from 35 yards out with a speculative effort, and it drifts well wide of the far post.
    • 29' Pogba drives a shot wide of the far post after neat build-up play with Quagliarella, and Juventus are pressing relentlessly.
    • 28' Quagliarella continues to cause havoc in the final third, and this time it's Santacroce who brings him down with a crude challenge.

    • 25' Padoin is booked for a rash challenge on Marchionni on halfway, and that was pretty needless.

    • 5' Gabriel Paletta drives a low shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box after a rampaging run, and that's a very fine effort from the full back!
    • 3' Fabio Quagliarella attempts a cute through ball, but Sebastian Giovinco is caught offside.
    • 1' The first half is under way at the Ennio Tardini.
