Having offered a rare bright spark since his introduction from the bench, Soule sees a left-footed shot from outside the box blocked.
90'

86'
Iling clips Ranocchia inside the Monza half, and when a free-kick is awarded to the visitors, Locatelli explodes with rage. The referee remains unmoved, and more precious time ticks by.
84'

82'
Diving to his right, Szczesny denies Petagna by parrying away a forceful shot from the edge of the area.
79'
Though Milik prods the ball in from close range following a lengthy penalty-box scramble, the officials immediately cancel his 'goal' off for an offside in the build-up - his boot was also very high for the finish.
78'
S. Sensi gets yellow.

F. Ranocchia enters the game and replaces José Machín.
S. Birindelli enters the game and replaces P. Ciurria.

74'
SHARP STOP! Juve are getting closer! After Gatti has a shot blocked, the hosts recycle the ball, and when it drops to Di Maria on the left side of the area, the World Cup-winner unleashes a missile towards the top-right corner! Di Gregorio comes to the rescue again, though, and parries the ball away!
Minute
Description
72'

For a clear trip on Gatti, the referee brandishes a yellow card in Caprari's direction.

Allegri goes for broke inside the final-hour, as De Sciglio is replaced by the returning Vlahovic, who will partner Milik up front.

59'
S. Sensi enters the game and replaces N. Rovella.
Also taking the applause of some home fans, Juventus-owned Rovella is taken off by Palladino; Sensi adds more experience to Monza's midfield.

Following a fruitless shift up front, Kean's game comes to an early end; Milik is thrown on in his place.

55'
Penalised for raising his boot too high in a midfield challenge, Bremer reacts with disdain, as the frustration inside the Allianz Stadium builds further.
53'
For the first time in the second half, Monza are back in their positive passing rhythm, pressing Juventus back into their own half for a short spell; Allegri is audibly angered on the touchline.
51'
Allowed to run freely from the halfway line, Soule drives in from the right flank before shooting straight at an untroubled Di Gregorio in Monza's goal.

45' +2
Izzo is cleared to continue and the action resumes, with the one minute of first-half stoppage time indicated having already been exceeded.

Receiving some vociferous abuse from the home crowd, ex-Torino player Izzo is grounded by a clash inside his own area. The game is brought to a temporary halt as a result.
43'
A Juventus free-kick is whipped over by Di Maria from near the corner flag, but Di Gregorio punches the ball away to safety.

39'
Dany Mota has scored a goal for Monza! Assist by Carlos Augusto.
Augusto takes plenty of credit for Monza's second goal of the game, as his charge down the left cracks open Juve's defence before he slips through Mota to score.
MOTA SCORES FOR MONZA! A determined slalom run by Augusto from in to out opens up space on the left, and after the wing-back lays the ball off for Mota, the striker rounds two static defenders and slips the ball into the back of the net past a floundering Szczesny! Juve just can't keep the back door shut, and Monza are fully deserving of their 2-0 lead!
36'
Szczesny gathers the ball at his near post after Ciurria's low cross from the right deflects harmlessly into the goalkeeper's path.

Though Mota temporarily drops to the turf with an apparent injury, the action continues around him, and Monza's main striker is soon back to his feet.
32'
The momentum is back with Monza now, as the Biancorossi cycle the ball about in Juve's half with purpose; the hosts are very much on the back foot.
30'
Following the corner, Juventus have a second chance to load the ball into a packed penalty area, but Paredes' high ball lacks accuracy and allows Di Gregorio to claim possession with a straightforward catch inside his six-yard box.
28'
With Kean waiting in the middle, Kostic sees his low cross from the left blocked behind for a corner-kick. Juve are among Serie A's strongest teams from set-pieces, so another corner will be welcome for the hosts.
25'
Already, thoughts of introducing either Pogba or Vlahovic will be creeping in to Juve fans' minds, as their team lack any dynamism at the moment.
23'

7'
Izzo scrambles well to deny Kean passage into the six-yard box from the left, and also stops the ball rolling behind for another Juventus corner.

2'
Having been clipped by Fagioli inside his own area, Mari goes down clutching his lower leg. A free-kick is awarded to Monza, and the Spanish centre-back is ultimately able to get back up and continue.
1'
Monza kick off, and we are under way in Turin!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of today's Serie A encounter between Juventus and Monza at the Allianz Stadium, Turin!
Still dealing with the fallout from their dramatic points deduction, which leaves them just ahead of today's opponents in the Serie A standings, Juventus start the game occupying an unfamiliar spot in the bottom half of the table. Docked 15 points only days after being thrashed by then title rivals Napoli, the Bianconeri played out a 3-3 thriller with Atalanta last weekend. They also reached the Coppa Italia quarter-finals earlier this month by beating Monza 2-1 - representing revenge for Juve's loss in Lombardy when the teams met in the league last September.
Mid-table Monza are aiming to complete an improbable double over today's hosts, and they arrive in Turin having gone five games unbeaten in Serie A either side of the winter break. The Biancorossi remain on course to avoid relegation in their debut season among the Italian elite: after former Juventus winger Raffaele Palladino stepped into the dugout during the autumn, not only did his side seize that famous victory over the Old Lady but they have since steadily climbed the standings. Though they were held at home by Sassuolo last week, victory in Turin would now take them above their illustrious hosts in the table.
JUVENTUS (3-5-1-1): Wojciech Szczesny; Federico Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Mattia De Sciglio, Nicolo Fagioli, Leandro Paredes, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic; Angel Di Maria; Moise Kean.
SUBS: Mattia Perin, Carlo Pinsoglio, Samuel Iling, Fabio Miretti, Paul Pogba, Matias Soule, Arkadiusz Milik, Daniele Rugani, Manuel Locatelli, Dusan Vlahovic, Alex Sandro.
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Michele Di Gregorio; Luca Caldirola, Pablo Mari, Armando Izzo; Patrick Ciurria, Matteo Pessina, Nicolo Rovella, Carlos Augusto; Jose Machin, Gianluca Caprari; Dany Mota.
SUBS: Alessio Cragno, Alessandro Sorrentino, Andrea Carboni, Andrea Petagna, Filippo Ranocchia, Marlon, Samuele Birindelli, Mattia Valoti, Christian Gytkjaer, Marco D'Alessandro, Stefano Sensi, Andrea Barberis, Andrea Colpani, Valentin Antov, Giulio Donati.
Monza, meanwhile, have far fewer fitness concerns than their hosts, and Palladino has had a virtually full squad to choose from. Mota starts up front rather than Petagna, while Rovella - on a season-long loan from Juventus - returns in midfield. Mari comes in for Marlon at the heart of the visitors' back three.
The players are out on the pitch at Allianz Stadium, as Juve's club anthem blares out full blast, and kick-off is now just moments away!
As Juventus have to press for a goal to force their way back into this match, Monza will surely benefit from some chances to counter-strike during the second half. While not possessing stars such as those available to Allegri, Palladino has a strong bench to call upon too, so Juve's woes may not be over. Following Sassuolo's thumping of Milan at San Siro earlier, perhaps it's to be a day for the underdog.
Having made a triple substitution at the interval, Juventus kick off the second half!
That's all from Turin today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
Juventus must recover quickly from this chastening defeat, as in-form Lazio await in next week's Coppa Italia quarter-finals. Monza, meanwhile, will have plenty of time to celebrate their success before tackling Sampdoria next time out, on February 6.
