A match short on action and goalmouth incident left Juve on seven points from their first three matches of the new campaign. Motta's team are behind champions and league leaders Inter Milan on goals scored after a much less inspiring performance than the two three-goal wins which preceded it.
A draw at Juve, where Roma traditionally struggle, gives coach Daniele De Rossi some breathing room for the international break after a difficult opening fortnight. His team showed a level of defensive discipline which had been lacking in their first two fixtures of the campaign but offered very little else for fans to cheer about.
The closest the away side game to scoring was a speculative distance effort in the final minute from full-back Angelino which whistled past the post. "We're under a lot of pressure for right now and it was important to get a point," said De Rossi.
