Juventus had the better chances, having gone ahead early through Dusan Vlahovic, but had to settle for a draw against a dogged Roma side.
Juventus
Tek: Made one comfortable save in the first half but was largely untroubled for the opening exchanges. Could do very little on the Roma equaliser. 6.0/10
Danilo: Seemed better suited to playing CB in the first half, very composed throughout. 6.5/10
Bremer: Barely put a foot wrong in the opening ’45, looked a better player at RCB. 6.5/10
De Sciglio: Did well enough at RB to begin with, offering the occasional threat down the flank 6.0/10
Sandro: A positive early start but quiet thereafter. 6.0/10
Cuadrado: Won the early free-kick to put Juve ahead. Had to better on the Juve breakaway chance that he fired right at Patricio. 6.5/10
Rabiot: Made some very lazy challenges early on, offered very little in the final third, subbed off. 5.5/10
Locatelli Silly early foul on Dybala to earn a booking, had the ball in the net but disallowed for a harsh handball. Very decent. 6.0/10
Miretti: Great passage of play to steal the ball and counter and generally looked a a threat every time he moved forward. 6.5/10
Kostic: Mixed opening 45 with some good deliveries into the box, some wasted. 5.5/10
Vlahovic: Incredible start, scoring with his first touch of the game, converting the free-kick. 6.5/10
Substitutions:
Zakaria: 5.5/10
McKennie: N/A
Milik: N/A
Rovella: N/A
Kean: N/A
Roma
Patricio: Very smart save to deny Cuadrado on the break and generally more composed as the game went on. 6.5/10
Mancini: Had the measure of the Juve attack in the opening ’45. Relatively untroubled. 6.0/10
Smalling: Decisive in the key moments, snuffing out Miretti on the break. 6.5/10
Ibanez: Like Mancini, he did well enough in the opening exchanges and throughout. 6.0/10
Karsdorp: Made some decent runs down the flank but the end product was lacking and Kostic had his measure. 5.5/10
Matic: Gave away the early free-kick that put Juve ahead. 5.5/10
Cristante: Didn’t really impose himself and made a reckless challenge to draw a booking. 5.5/10
Spinazzola: Encouraging early runs down the left but subbed out at H/T. 5.5/10
Pellegrini: Good early effort, but straight at Tek. Didn’t find many opportunities thereafter. 6.0/10
Dybala: Didn’t seem overawed by the occasion, making smart runs and drawing fouls. Whipped the ball back in for Abraham to convert. 6.0/10
Abraham: Surprisingly quiet and well marshaled by Danilo and Bremer. One half chance that was easily dealt with by Tek. Took Roma’s equaliser really well 6.5/10
Substitutions:
Zalewski: 6.0/10
El Shaarawy: 5.5/10
Celik: 5.5/10
Kumbulla: 5.5/10
Bove: N/A
