September 01, (THEWILL) – Juventus dropped points for the first time under Head Coach Thiago Motta with a 0-0 draw against Roma at the Allianz Stadium.
The match lacked clear chances, as both teams struggled to find the back of the net. Roma, managed by Daniele De Rossi, displayed solid defensive organisation to take their second point of the campaign after losing to Empoli last week.
Dusan Vlahovic had the best opportunity to score for Juventus, but his shot was saved by Mile Svilar. The encounter saw only one shot on target from each side, reflecting the lack of attacking threat throughout the match.
This result leaves Juventus in second place in the early-season standings, trailing behind Inter. Roma, meanwhile, moved out of the relegation zone and currently sit in 17th position. Both teams will look to regroup during the upcoming international break.
Juventus will need to address their attacking inefficiencies if they hope to maintain their strong start to the season. The draw raises questions about their ability to convert chances against well-organised defences.
Roma, on the other hand, will view this result as a positive step towards recovery after a difficult start to the season. They will aim to build on this performance as they attempt to climb further up the table in the coming weeks.
