Match Events
4' Costa's long shot wide out
Costa cuts inside from the right wing and curls his effort around Gagliolo as he aims his shot towards the far post. He can't get his effort on target though and it flies well wide of the far post.
12' CLOSE! Ronaldo's header over the bar
Khedira whips a brilliant cross into the box and Ronaldo rises above Laurini to reach it first. He makes good contact with it, but his header is too high and goes over the crossbar.
21' GOAL! Parma 0-1 Juventus (Chiellini)
Khedira whips a brilliant cross into the box and Ronaldo rises above Laurini to reach it first. He makes good contact with it, but his header is too high and goes over the crossbar.
34' Disallowed! Ronaldo scores but the goal is offside
The replays show that Ronaldo's right shoulder was offside when he received the ball from Costa and the Parma fans celebrate as the ball is given back to them to restart play.
43' Pjanic's free kick too straight
Juventus have a free-kick on the edge of the box and it's Pjanic who steps up to take the set-piece. He gets his effort over the wall but it's at a comfortable height for Sepe to catch it on his line.
59' Ronaldo's shot over the bar
Costa weaves through Parma's defence before squaring a cross into the middle of the box. Ronaldo is running onto it and doesn't have time to sort his feet out so he ends up firing it over the crossbar.
72' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot too straight
The forward does really well to get around Alves who is tracking him closely before he fires his low shot in at the near post. Sepe gets down well though and holds onto the effort to deny him.
