Half-Time Report: Juventus holding Roma at break

Roma dominate the first half of their match with Italian champions Juventus but are unable to find a breakthrough.

Roma have not been able to take advantage of their first-half dominance in the Serie A clash with Juventus as last season's top two remain goalless at Stadio Olimpico.

Juventus lost 1-0 at home to Udinese in their opening game of the season last weekend and the champions looked rocky at the back from the off as Seydou Keita and Iago Falque fired wide inside the first 10 minutes.

Roma continued to dominate the early stages and had yet another early opportunity when Mohamed Salah drove forward from his own half and played in Alessandro Florenzi, who perhaps should have squared the ball instead of hitting a tame shot wide of Gianluigi Buffon's goal.

As Juve struggled to retain any kind of possession, the home side came within inches of taking a deserved lead when Miralem Pjanic was unlucky to see his superb strike from the edge of the box cannon against the post with Buffon beaten.

Pjanic's effort from 35 yards was held by Buffon as Roma continued to press, but Juve held on to ensure the sides remained level at half time.
