60'

Double chance for Juve! Consigli does well to keep out Dybala's effort but can only parry it into the path of Chiesa. He should really score but fires the rebound over the bar!

58'

Off the line! Cuadrado connects sweetly with a half-volley, the goalkeeper is beaten but Kaan is on the line to make a crucial block! So close to an equaliser!

57'

Close to a second! Raspadori has a clear sight of goal but bends his shot agonisingly wide of the far post. That could be a costly miss for Sassuolo!

55'

Alex Sandro climbs highest to meet the resulting free-kick delivery but heads over the bar.

54'

Chiesa is the target of a late and hefty challenge from Lopez, and although he wins the free-kick, the yellow card is not forthcoming.

51'

Danilo reacts quickest to Berardi's cross to make an important headed clearance for Juventus. A second goal from the visitors would give the Old Lady a real mountain to climb.

48'

Chiesa gets in behind the Sassuolo defence after a promising attack, but it ends in disappointment as his cross is too close to the goalkeeper, who gathers.

It should be noted that Juan Cuadrao replaced Rabiot at the break.

2nd Half

46'

Kick-off! Juventus get the second half underway, determined for improvement after a largely lacklustre performance so far.

End of 1st Half

Half-time: Juventus are trailing at the break thanks to Davide Frattesi's 44th-minute goal. The Old Lady started brightly but the injury to De Sciglio took the wind out of their sails. Dybala striking the post was as close as the hosts came to an opener, but the visitors stunned them just before the break!

45'

Just one minute will be added on, which seems rather odd considering the length of time De Sciglio was down.

44'

GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Sassuolo (Davide Frattesi): The hosts are stunned; Sassuolo lead! They hadn't created much - until now! Defrel's through ball is pounced upon by Frattesi and he makes no mistake with his finish!

Chaos ensues as Sassuolo try - and fail - to clear their lines. It drops to Chiesa but he can't keep his shot down and it's a let off for the visitors.

38'

Off the post! Dybala pounces after Locatelli takes a heavy touch and only the post denies the Juventus forward from netting the opener with a fierce shot from the edge of the box!

35'

Sassuolo have grown into the contest as the half has worn on. Danilo is needed to block Traore's shot following a misplaced pass from Bonucci.

34'

Sassuolo midfielder Traore can't resist the temptation of having a shot after the ball rolls kindly into his path. But the result is high, wide and not at all pretty.

31'

Sassuolo forward Defrel is into the book for catching the right leg of Alex Sandro, which looks a harsh decision from the referee having watched it back on replay.

28'

Defrel receives the ball inside the Juve penalty area following a sweeping attack. De Ligt has to get his tackle just right and he executes it superbly, winning the ball back for the hosts.

27'

Consigli is forced into action, saving Rabiot's straightforward header, but the offside flag is raised in any case.

26'

Dybala and Chiesa combine, the former laying a nice pass into the latter but he runs into trouble inside the Sassuolo penalty area.
