FIVE added minutes will be played here at the Allianz Stadium.

To their credit, Roma are refusing to surrender. Spinazzola carves inside and strikes a low shot from distance, but it's straight forward for Szczesny to save.

That just about sums it up for Roma, as Veretout blazes over the bar on the rebound after Mkhitaryan's shot was blocked by Bonucci.
74'
Juventus are looking more than comfortable now. Just over 15 minutes to play, and they're going to hold on for three more points, you feel.
73'
It's a long way back for Roma now. Juve have hardly laid a glove on them but have proved far more clinical in front of goal. As it stands, the Old Lady are moving into third.
70'
GOAL! Juventus 2-0 Roma (Roger Ibanez own-goal): Game over?! Kulusevski races down the right, looks up and tries to pick out Ronaldo with a pass across the face of goal. Before he can pounce, though, Ibanez races in and inadvertently bundles the ball over the line!

Yellow card! A frustrated Ronaldo is booked for dissent. He was fairly challenged, so his complaints to the referee are completely unneccessary.
59'
Chance for Roma! Mkhitaryan carries Roma forward, feeding Villar, who scuffs a weak shot at goal. It's deflected into the path of Mayoral, who is then flagged offside on the rebound, but that's much better from the visitors.
57'
Ronaldo receives the ball left of the penalty area and tees up Morata, whose first-time shot curls wide of goal. But it wouldn't have counted as again the offside flag is raised very, very late.
54'
Yellow card! Kumbulla is booked for a tug on Morata's shirt right in front of the referee.
