It’s heartbreak for Juve, who had been hanging on until the final kick of the game. They took the lead through Ronaldo, who also hit the woodwork before the break, but Lazio controlled the second half and were well deserving of their equaliser, which came from substitute Caicedo.
Without their key player Immobile, that’s a fantastic result for Lazio, who have drawn with Juve for the first time in over six years. A point moves them up to ninth, while Pirlo’s side stay in third place, though Inter, Atalanta, Napoli, Roma and Hellas Verona all have the chance to move above them today, while leaders Milan could move six points clear of the champions if they win.
That’s all for now. Goodbye!

90'+6'
FULL TIME: LAZIO 1-1 JUVENTUS.14:26
90'+5'
It was a fantastic run from Correa, who committed three players but still found a way through. Caicedo’s first touch was excellent, and his second even better. What a way to clinch a point!14:26
90'+5'
GOOOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!! LAZIO HAVE EQUALISED! With what could be the last kick of the game, Caicedo has drawn the hosts level. Correa got through a crowd of players and laid it off to the substitute who, on the turn, slammed home a brilliant finish into the bottom-right corner. It’s 1-1!
Lazio have everybody bar Reina forward, but a heavy touch from Milinkovic-Savic allows Juve to break. The seconds are ticking down…14:24
90'+1'
There will be four minutes of stoppage time. Can Lazio rescue something from this match?14:22
89'
Another change for Juve as they aim to wind down the clock. Bernardeschi is on in place of Morata.14:21
87'
Lazio are piling on the pressure, but still they cannot craft a clear opening through Juve’s resolute defence.14:17
84'
Cuadrado has gone into the book.14:15
82'
CHANCE! Marusic gets on the end of a cross from the right, but he can’t make a solid contact with his header and directs it straight at Szczesny.14:14
80'
Ronaldo is receiving some treatment on the Juve bench, with his ankle getting strapped up and compressed. It is likely to just be a precaution, however.14:09
78'
Akpa Akpro is in the thick of it straight away, receiving a booking for clattering into Bentancur.14:12
77'
Akpa Akpro is also on for the home side, replacing Cataldi in midfield.14:12
77'
Lazio have also made two changes. Pereira is on in place of Luis Alberto.14:07
76'
Kulusevski has also made way, with McKennie coming on.23:51
76'
Ronaldo’s race is run. He does not appear to be too badly injured, but Pirlo has decided to bring Juve’s star man off. Dybala is on in his place.14:07
75'
Lazio keep up the pressure after the resulting corner is cleared, with a cross drilled in towards Caicedo. Juve’s defence are standing firm, however, and now Ronaldo is down after a collision with Luis Alberto.14:05
74'
No penalty! Lazio want a spot-kick after Milinkovic-Savic’s free-kick hits Rabiot in he wall, but the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder had his arms by his side.14:04
71'
Since the start of 2019-20, Lazio have gained the most points from losing positions in the big five European Leagues: 32, three of these coming in the most recent match against Juve at the Olimpico.14:03
69'
Brilliant defending from Bonucci! Correa got the better of Demiral with a sharp turn of pace, but his path into the centre of the area is blocked off by Juve’s captain.13:59
67'
Juve keep up the pressure after Lazio clear a free-kick, but Ronaldo is flagged offside.13:58
65'
Fantastic play from Kulusevski, who sees a gap in Lazio’s lines and powers forward at full speed. The former Atalanta youngster finds Ronaldo, but the Portuguese’s touch is slightly heavy, and Luiz Felipe is able to make the tackle.13:56
62'
Dybala is on the bench for Juve today. He has scored seven goals against Lazio in Serie A – against no team has he netted more. The Argentina forward made his debut in the Italian top flight against the Biancocelesti, at the Olimpico, in September 2012 with Palermo.13:52
60'
Cuadrado has not been able to get forward at will since the restart, unlike in the first half when he was a constant threat. However, the former Fiorentina and Chelsea man got into the final third then, combining with Ronaldo, but the offside flag was up.13:51
58'
CHANCE! Rabiot steals possession from Luis Alberto before combining with Morata to get into the Lazio area. The France international’s shot is saved by Reina, but Juve keep on the pressure, only for Ronaldo to be flagged offside.13:48
56'
Caicedo is immediately involved as he turns away from a few defenders and spreads a pass out to Marusic. The wing-back floats in a cross towards the substitute striker, but he can’t get on the end of it.13:46
54'
Caicedo is the other player to come on for the hosts. He has replaced Muriqi, who missed a great chance in the first half.13:44
54'
Lazzari – a pacy wide player – has also come on, replacing Fares.13:44
53'
It's time for some Lazio changes – three of them, in fact. First, Radu makes way for Hoedt.23:51
51'
Bentancur goes into the book for a robust challenge on Luiz Felipe.13:56
49'
CLOSE! That’s a fine effort from Marusic, who cut inside on his left foot and curled a strike towards the far corner. Unfortunately for the Lazio man, it was just too high.13:40
47'
There was a chance for Juve right from the restart, as Kulusevski latched onto a cross from the left. His first touch was a heavy one, however, and that allowed Radu to get across and block the angle.13:40
46'
The second half is up and running at Stadio Olimpico!13:35
Lazio have played well, but in the final third are missing the cutting edge which Immobile would provide. Perhaps Caicedo, who is on the bench, could help turn the tide in their favour. Juve, meanwhile, will be searching to get this win wrapped up with an early goal in the second half.14:15
Juve lead at half-time thanks to Ronaldo’s goal, with the Bianconeri star having turned home from Cuadrado’s cross in the 15th minute. Lazio have toiled going forward but Juve have been a constant threat on the break, with Ronaldo also hitting the woodwork and forcing a brilliant save from Reina.13:21
45'+3'
HALF-TIME: LAZIO 0-1 JUVENTUS.13:20
45'+2'
SAVE! That’s a fantastic stop from Reina, who lunges high to his right to palm Ronaldo’s venomous strike over and keep the deficit to one on the cusp of half-time.13:19
45'+1'
Kulusevski has impressed so far for Juve and a powerful run from the right results in him drawing a clumsy tackle from Cataldi, who goes into the book. Juve now have a free-kick right on the edge of Lazio’s box.13:18
44'
Ronaldo has already had four shots today, with two of them on target. Having missed several games due to coronavirus-enforced isolation, the forward has taken little time to get back into his stride.13:18
42'
SO CLOSE! What a goal that would have been! Ronaldo takes in a pass just inside the Lazio area and, after setting himself with a fantastic touch, curls a shot at goal. Reina is stranded on his line, but the ball clatters away off the corner of the post and crossbar.13:15
39'
Lazio then manage to get in down the left side but, from a difficult angle, Muriqi skews his strike into the side netting.13:11
37'
CLOSE! Juve catch Lazio on the counter, with Ronaldo leading the charge. He sizes up his options but, predictably, elects to shoot from around 25 yards out. His effort is low and well struck, but heads just wide of the upright.13:10
36'
A loose ball breaks to Milinkovic-Savic, who wastes no time in getting a shot off. It had plenty of power behind it, but a Juve defender gets across to make a vital block.13:09
35'
Luis Alberto is becoming more involved for Lazio in midfield, but Juve are managing to keep their hosts at arms’ length.13:08
33'
Juve have scored 15 goals in the league this season. Lazio, on the other hand, have conceded 13 times in their first seven Serie A matches this season.13:07
31'
Luis Alberto skips away from two defenders before slipping a neat pass into Correa. He gets away from Demiral and unleashes a low shot, but it is straight at the well-positioned Szczesny.13:03
28'
It appears that Juve are playing with more of a back three, rather than the 4-4-2 initially suggested. When they are in possession, Bonucci is dropping into the middle, with Danilo and Demiral flanking him, while Cuadrado and Frabotta push high on the wings.13:02
26'
Juve are getting the ball forward at speed, with one midfielder sitting while the other sprints up the pitch to join the attack, allowing Ronaldo to drift into wide areas and run at Lazio’s defence. The 35-year-old tries to get away from two defenders with a neat bit of skill, but is just crowded out before he gets into the area.12:59
24'
Luis Alberto puts on the afterburners and drives into Juve’s area, cutting inside from the left-hand channel. However, his path is blocked by Cuadrado, who makes an excellent challenge.12:57
22'
CLOSE! Milinkovic-Savic shows his quality with a towering header at the back post. He nods it back towards Muriqi, but the forward cannot get on the end of it for what would have been a simple finish.12:53
20'
Correa finds space for a shot just outside the area, but his effort has far too much on it and sails over.12:52
19'
The possession statistics have been fairly even so far, but it is definitely Lazio who appear to be committing more men forward. However, Juve seem content to sit back on the break and utilise the pace of Cuadrado as an outlet, with Morata a willing runner alongside Ronaldo.12:52
17'
Ronaldo has now scored in each of his four league games this season. Since 1994-95, only one other Juve player has netted in each of his first four Serie A matches of a season. That was Dybala, who is on the bench today, in 2017-18.12:50
15'
Cuadrado has been converted into a full-back over recent seasons, but showed his qualities as a winger there with some sublime skill before he raced onto a return pass and hammered in a cross from which Ronaldo could not miss.12:48
15'
GOOOOOAAALLLL!!! JUVE TAKE THE LEAD! Ronaldo has tapped in from close range, after brilliant work from Cuadrado. The Colombia international burst down the right and drilled in a fantastic cross, with Ronaldo sticking out a leg to divert it home. Lazio 0-1 Juve!
Cuadrado gets forward and tees up Rabio, who tries his luck from just outside the area, but his left-footed shot is saved by Reina. It has been a quick start from both teams.12:45
10'
In their record run of nine Scudetti in a row – starting from 2011/12 – Juve kept more clean sheets against Lazio than against any other team in Serie A, with shut-outs 11 in 18 matches.12:44
8'
The duo do just that, both of them driving forward into the Juve area. However, that leaves space in midfield which the visitors exploit on the break – Kulusevski bursting through at pace and laying it off to Ronaldo. He cuts inside and sets himself for a shot, but his effort lacks the power to test Reina.12:40
6'
Without Immobile, there will be an extra onus on Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic to push on into the area for Lazio and add an extra dimension to their attack.12:39
4'
The last draw between Lazio and Juve in Serie A came back in January 2014. There have been 10 Bianconeri successes and two Biancocelesti wins in the most recent 12 fixtures.12:36
2'
An early sighting of goal for Lazio, as Cataldi lets rip from the centre of the area, but he slices his effort off target.12:34
1'
KICK-OFF! Lazio, in their famous sky blue and white home strip, get proceedings up and running!12:34
The teams are out in Rome and kick-off is coming up next!12:30
Pirlo went with a 4-3-3 in the win over Ferencvaros in midweek, but has switched to a 4-4-2 for this clash. Federico Chiesa and Aaron Ramsey drop out all together, meaning Morata – who is in great form – is partnered by Ronaldo up front. Rabiot, Bentancur and Frabotta are the players to come in.12:25
JUVENTUS SUBSTITUTES: Weston McKennie, Arthur, Federico Bernardeschi, Carlo Pinsoglio, Gianluigi Buffon, Paulo Dybala, Radu Dragusin, Manolo Portanova.12:24
Lazio were dealt a huge blow ahead of this clash, with Lucas Leiva, goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha and captain Ciro Immobile are all out due to inconclusive COVID-19 test results. The trio tested positive ahead of Champions League games against Club Brugge and Zenit St Petersburg, yet negative prior to last week’s Serie A encounter with Torino.12:23
LAZIO SUBSTITUTES: Patric, Andreas Pereira, Djavan Anderson, Nicolo Armin, Wesley Hoedt, Marco Parolo, Felipe Caicedo, Manuel Lazzari, Alessio Furlanetto, Raul Moro, Marco Alia, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro.12:19
LAZIO (3-5-2): Pepe Reina; Luiz Felipe, Stefan Radu, Francesco Acerbi; Adam Marusic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Mohamed Fares; Vedat Muriqi, Joaquin Correa.12:19
Andrea Pirlo has suffered just one defeat as Juve boss, with that loss coming in the Champions League against Barcelona. His side have won three and drawn three in Serie A. They sit third as it stands, though victory would see them move above Sassuolo into second.12:14
Lazio finished fourth last season, five points behind winners Juve. After a sluggish start to the campaign, Simone Inzaghi’s side have won their last two league matches, and three points today would see them move up into third.12:10
