Juventus seal a 2-0 win as Vlahovic nets on his debut. The hosts made a rapid start in this one: within 15 minutes Vlahovic marked his debut in style with a brilliant lob over Montipo. Verona stayed in the game and had plenty of possession and territory without reward. Lasagna had the visitors' best chance, but his shot from a tight angle was blocked away. And a second Juventus debutant took the game away from Verona after half-time, when Zakaria cooly finished beyond Montipo after excellent work from Dybala. Juventus kept it tight from there, and secured an important win.
The result means that Juventus leapfrog Atalanta to climb up to fourth. Verona, meanwhile, remain in ninth.
That's all for now though, goodbye!

Barak has looked like Verona's main threat so far, but they need to put him in more dangerous areas if they're to find an equaliser in the second 45.21:34

13'
GOALLL! VLAHOVIC! 1-0. Juventus take an early lead, and it's a dream start to Vlahovic's debut. Ceccherini mistimes a headed clearance on the halfway line and it falls to Dybala. The attacker quickly threads a pass through to send Vlahovic one-on-one and the striker lifts it precisely over Montipo from 18-yards and it bounces once before nestling in the far corner!
