Italian Serie A Match Report: Fiorentina 0-0 Juventus 05 December 2014

League leaders, Juventus, dropped two points after being held to 0-0 draw with Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Friday night.

Juve boss, Massimiliano Allegri, decided to leave Carlos Tevez and Claudio Marchisio on the bench, as the Old Lady take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Fiorentina came close with their first meaningful effort in the 30th minute with a free-kick just outside the penalty area, but Matias Fernandez curled his effort just wide of the upright.

Both sides showed attacking intent in the first half but failed to create any openings.

Patrice Evra registered Juventus' first effort on target five minutes after the halftime break, as his effort from close range was palmed away by Norberto Murara Neto.

Gianluigi Buffon was called into action for the first time in the 68th minute to parry Jaun Cuadrado's stinging effort for a corner.

Despite the high tempo both side only managed to register one effort on target apiece throughout the 90 minutes.

Juve extended their lead at the top to four points, while Viola remain unchanged in eighth spot.
