Welcome to Eurosport-Yahoo!'s live text coverage of Lecce v Juventus from the Stadio Via del Mare.

Krasic now brings it clear at pace for Juve, but runs down a cul-de-sac, and the quick counter-attack is stopped.

Fine defending from Sorensen to stop Mesbah from getting his cross in.

Super deep ball to the back post from Brivio, Grossmüller headed back across goal, and it required a diving header from Bonucci to keep it clear of the lurking Di Michele.

Buffon comes charging from his goal to head clear a long ball aimed for David di Michele. Decent header, it found touch and cleared the danger.

Juve get the first half underway, and Luca Toni fires off an ambitious early shot affter just 15 seconds that flies well wide.

After a disastrous start to the calendar year, Juventus appear to have found some form, having now won their last two league matches against Cagliari and Inter. They are still four points off Lazio in fourth place, however, with Udinese, Roma and Palermo also in the hunt. Lecce are just two points clear of the relegation zone, and have won just won of their last six games.
