The much anticipated encounter between league leaders Juventus and Roma was a big disappointment as the Capital team suffered double red cards at the close of their game.
Juventus scored 17th minute as Carlos Teves saw an Arturo Vidal overlap to his right which he capitalized and the latter delivered after latching into that quick pass. Then in the 49th minute, an unmarked Leonardo Bonucci poked the ball into the net after a smooth Andrea Pirlo free kick.
Things went worse for Roma in the closing minutes of the game as two successive red cards were given. First against Danielle De Rossi for the high challenge on Leonardo Bonucci. It was followed by Leandro Castans handball on former Roma and now Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic.
Reduced to 9 men, there was nothing Roma could do and Juventus never pushed for more goals as if to emphatize with the plight of its worthy rival.
