What a remarkable game, what an incredible comeback from Juventus. For so long it looked like Chievo would upset the odds, would spoil the party, but the defending Serie A champions found a way to get the win. Ronaldo didn't get his goal, but what a way to introduce yourself. Wow.

FULL TIME: Chievo 2-3 Juventus
95'
The only thing that is now missing from this match for Juventus is a goal for Ronaldo. He has played well, he has looked sharp, but he has so far drawn a blank on his debut for his new club.

Depaolo is shown a yellow card. Minutes left to play. Is this over? Or is there more drama in store?

Juve look like they will start their 2018/19 Serie A campaign with a win, but they have been made to work for it. Chievo have given this everything, but they look shattered now.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Chievo 2 Juventus 3 (92 mins - Federico Bernardeschi). Juventus have scored a stoppage time winner! What an end to this match! Sandro got to the byline and smashed a cross into the box, where Bernardeschi was on hand to turn home from close range! That is surely the winner.

The officials have added on five minutes of stoppage time, but we're already a minute into that. There will be more.

Now Chievo have subbed off Sorrentino. There will be a lot of stoppage time to be played here.

GOAL DISALLOWED! Incredible! What is going on here. First, the goal wasn't given. Then it was given. Now VAR has been used to take another look and it has been disallowed!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Chievo 2 Juventus 3 (85 mins - Mario Mandzukic). The VAR review is used to determine that Mandzukic's header crossed the line and Juventus are awarded the goal. Sorrentino still looks to be in trouble. Was there a handball from Ronaldo in there as well? What drama this is!

VAR REVIEW! We're going to VAR to decide whether this was a goal. Meanwhile, Sorrentino is receiving some treatment on the pitch. This is a strange mix of emotions for these two teams.

OFF THE LINE! Mandzukic believes that his header crossed the line! The referee says that it didn't, though. And now Sorrentino is out cold. The Chievo goalkeeper is in trouble here.

FIRST TOUCH! What a way to introduce yourself that would have been! Can very nearly scored with his first touch in a Juventus shirt, but Sorrentino made the save! So, so close!
84'
Can has very quickly become the forgotten man at Juventus, in that not much has been said about his signing. But the German should make a real impact at Turin once he gets going.

Can comes on for his Juventus debut. Seven minutes left to play.

Chievo deserve so much credit for the way they have defender in this second half. Juventus have been afforded chances, but the hosts are making it difficult for them.

Is there a Ronaldo winner left in this match? It's in the script, isn't it? With the scoreline poised at 2-2, these were the games that Juventus bought the Portuguese forward to decide.
79'
This is utterly relentless from Juventus. They are attacking in waves and have been for the past 20 minutes or so. But for the moment, Sorrentino is keeping them out. Still 2-2.

Chievo make another change. They need fresh legs because they look dead on their feet.
