Underperforming Roma brought Juve to their own level – goalless derby at Allianz Stadium

Juventus and Roma battled to a dull 0-0 stalemate at the Allianz Stadium, leaving the Giallorossi still searching for their first win of the Serie A season and extending their dismal head-to-head record against the Bianconeri to just one victory in nine encounters (four draws, four losses).Juventus had come into the match with a perfect record from their first two games, but it was the struggling visitors who made the brighter start. Lorenzo Pellegrini came agonizingly close to breaking the deadlock after being expertly found by Bryan Cristante, but the Roma captain’s shot deflected narrowly wide. As the first half wore on, Juventus gradually found their rhythm, though it wasn’t until the brink of halftime that they registered their first shot on goal – an underwhelming, scuffed attempt from Dušan Vlahović that was easily gathered by Mile Svilar.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Seeking a spark, Thiago Motta introduced new signings Teun Koopmeiners and Francisco Conceição at the start of the second half. However, neither debutant made an immediate impact, as both sides continued to struggle to assert themselves in the match. In response, Daniele De Rossi opted to bring on Paulo Dybala to face his former club, hoping the Argentine could provide the magic Roma desperately needed.As the match entered its final 15 minutes, neither side had managed a shot on target, despite a flurry of substitutions from both managers. Ultimately, the lack of cutting edge in the final third left Svilar and Michele Di Gregorio as mere bystanders for most of the game. The draw keeps Juventus unbeaten as they head into the international break, a period that could be crucial for De Rossi, who will look to reverse Roma’s fortunes with his team still winless and having scored just one goal in their opening three matches.Juventus vs Roma 01/02 pic.twitter.com/0YdKamjbNq— My Greatest 11 (@MyGreatest11) September 1, 2024 SERIE A – MATCHDAY 3FridayVenezia – Torino 0-1 (0-0)/Coco 86/Inter – Atalanta 4-0 (3-0)/Djimsiti 3 og, Barella 10, Thuram 47, 56/SaturdayBologna – Empoli 1-1 (1-1)/Fabbian 2 – Gyasi 3/Lecce – Cagliari 1-0 (1-0)/Krstovic 26/Lazio – Milan 2-2 (0-1)/Castellanos 62, Dia 66 – Pavlovic 8, Leao 72/Napoli – Parma 2-1 (0-1)/Lukaku 90+2, Anguissa 90+6 – Bonny 19 pen/SundayGenoa – Verona 0-2 (0-0)/Tchatchoua 55, Tengstedt 64 pen/Fiorentina – Monza 2-2 (1-2)/Kean 45, Gosens 90+6 – Djuric 18, Maldini 32/Juventus – Roma 0-0Udinese – Como 1-0 (1-0)/Brenner 43/
