2nd Half

Juventus get us started again!
45'
Juventus make a change of their own. Cuadrado is off for Alex Sandro. Don't really understand why apart from maybe the fact that Cuadrado was on a yellow.

Paolo Ghiglione will also be subbed on. It's a like-for-like change at right wing back, with Biraschi heading to the bench.

Double substitution for Genoa at the start of the second half as Ballardini tries to kick his team into action! Marko Pjaca is an attacking first sub, and he's on for Behrami, who did have a yellow to be fair.

End of 1st Half
45+1'
HALF-TIME: Juventus 2-0 Genoa
Very strong half for the home side, who were dominant and allowed Genoa very few opportunities to score. If I were to nitpick I'd say they could be a bit more clinical but it's hard to find fault with their game so far!
45'
SAVED!! Golden opportunity for Genoa as Scamacca is fed the ball in behind the defence, but Szczesny comes to the rescue to deny him!
38'
These cards are starting to become plentiful. Very unnecessary from Behrami, just letting the frustration get to him and trying to pull Rabiot back.

SAVE!! Chiesa creates another opportunity and Rabiot has a pop but Perin does well to make keep it out!
32'
Genoa have a free-kick on the right flank. The delivery into the box is poort though and it's headed away.
26'
Ronaldo's very eager to score! He attempts another shot from range but it's a weak effort and Perin is easily able to deal with it.
22'
GOAL!!! Juve make it two! Chiesa charges forward and has his shot saved, Ronaldo somehow hits the post on the rebound and the onrushing Morata finds the back of the net for Juve at the third time of asking!

Scamacca whacks the free-kick over the bar.

Cuadrado is booked for handball due to his arm blocking Zappacosta's cross. It was just outside the box so Genoa will have a free-kick.

Zappacosta beats Cuadrado then whips in a cross searching for Pandev, but Szczesny does well to claim it.
11'
CHANCE! Ronaldo drives forward and tries a low shot from range but it's just wide of the post.
9'
Perin gets himself in a bit of tangle there under lots of pressure from Morata! The Genoa 'keeper spends way too much time on the ball after being passed it and is almost made to pay for doing so.
7'
Chiesa cuts inside from the left and takes aim. His shot is very tame though and he should've been more aware of Morata who was lurking.
