Vlahovic’s wicked free-kick goal after just two minutes was cancelled out just over an hour later by Abraham’s close-range finish after a sensational Dybala scissor-kick assist as Juventus and Roma will have to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Both sides conceded their first goals of the season as Szczesny and Patricio were made to work hard for their point.
Roma grew into the game as it wore on but largely looked second-best, with Vlahovic and Cuadrado giving the Giallorossi defence a difficult evening.
Both coaches made changes that largely failed to alter the match flow with a tie to the fair result.
The final score means Roma goes into third while Juventus sit sixth.

ABRAHAM LEVELS THE SCORE! 1-1! Pellegrini takes a corner-kick deep to the far post, where it’s met by a sensational Dybala scissor-kick. However, the inspired hit plays the ball back across the face of the goal where it’s turned home by Abraham!
