End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FULL-TIME: Juventus 3-1 Genoa
A dominant and well-deserved win in the end for the Bianconeri. There was a period in the second half when a Genoa comeback almost seemed inevitable but McKennie's goal really took the wind out of their sails. Overall, the difference in quality really showed despite some shaky finishing from the home side.
90+1'
CLOSE!! Juve play head tennis across the face of the goal! It starts with Ronaldo heading McKennie's cross and despite having two or three bites of the apple there's no Juve player available in the box to latch onto the end of any of these headers.
88'
SAVED!! Sandro is teed up by Dybala, but Perin makes another great save to deny him a goal.
84'
Aaron Ramsey comes on for Rabiot as the Bianconeri's last substitution.

Genoa's momentum was really building before that third Juve goal. They seemed much more likely to score in all fairness.
70'
GOAL!!! Instant impact for McKennie!
Brilliant through ball from Danilo and McKennie beats the offside trap to go one-on-one with the keeper and score past him, even glancing across afterwards to make sure the linesman's flag wasn't up.

It's a three-pronged counter attack for Juve and Chiesa has the ball with options to his left and right. Instead he waits way too long and produces an awful pass that trickles straight to Perin. Ronaldo is fuming.
57'
CLOSE!! It's Ronaldo's turn to go close now. It hasn't been the most effective afternoon for him and it seems he still isn't wearing his shooting boots, as he sends his shot wide.
56'
CHANCE!! Pjaca goes close again! What an inspired sub from Ballardini. The Croatian skilfully evades a couple Juve defenders before striking. His shot this time is much too high though.
55'
SAVED!! The substitute Pjaca powers a low shot towards the bottom corner and Szczesny gets down low to push it away! Genoa are piling on the pressure now.
53'
Rovella finds himself in the referee's book thanks to a cynical foul on Chiesa.

GOAL!!! Scamacca buries a header to pull a goal back for Genoa!
A delightful corner is fizzed into the box and the unmarked Scamacca makes up for failing to score at the end of the first half with a rocket header. De Ligt ended up on the floor and his teammates were appealing for the goal to be disallowed, but the referee ignores it.
