At exactly 9:00 PM, the referee blew the whistle, and the highly anticipated Serie A battle between AS Roma and Juventus commenced.
Tévez kicked off the proceedings with a back pass into his midfield with a clear intent of finding Arturo Vidal. From there on, the Juventus players started passing the ball immaculately among themselves and showcased a hunger to dictate proceedings on the field.
The Old Lady players were brilliant on and off the ball. They played with conviction, covering spaces and closing down the opponents as if their lives were at stake. They thus dominated possession in the opening minutes, and it didn't take long for them to create their first real goal-scoring opportunity.
