Teams
SIENA
Curci -7.0: Kept the scoreline down with fine one-on-one saves from Iaquinta and Del Piero, but could do nothing on the strikes that did beat him.
Rossettini -5.0: Struggled badly against the ageless Nedved, who repeatedly got in behind him.
Portanova -4.5: Played Iaquinta onside early on, and was not able to continue what had been a fine individual season up until today.
Ficagna -4.5: Like Portanova, Ficagna had no answer to Del Piero, who raced behind the backline on countless occasions.
Rossi -6.0: The best of a bad Siena defence. Coped relatively well with Camoranesi, but, like his team-mates, could not hold the line.
Coppola -5.0: Made no impact whatsoever in midfield, and you would be forgiven for thinking that Coppola was not even playing.
Vergassola -5.5: Tried his best, but was second to every ball against Marchisio.
Galloppa -6.5: Possibly Siena's best player in the first half, spraying some sweet passes around with his left foot. Succumbed to injury just after the break.
Jarolim -6.0: One of the few Siena players to actually try his luck at goal, but nothing to write home about.
Calaio -6.0: Was lively in the opening stages, but the Juve defenders soon got the measure of him.
Maccarone -5.0: Worked hard and never stopped running, but got little change out of Legrottaglie and Chiellini. Substituted on 63 minutes.
Subs
Zito 5.0: Made no impact.
Ghezzal -5.5: A few tricks and flicks.
Del Prete -N/V
JUVENTUS
Buffon -6.5: Barely had a save to make all game. Commanding on crosses and set-pieces, it has been a long time since Buffon enjoyed an afternoon like this.
Zebina -7.0: Has been shaky since returning to the team, but there were few signs of his erratic form against the Tuscans. Also attacked well down the flank.
Legrottaglie -8.0: Won everything in the air, was attentive, and comfortably coped with everything Siena threw at him.
Chiellini -8.0: His partnership with Legrottaglie was the backbone of the Juventus victory. Chiellini won every challenge he went in for, and was far too strong for the Siena attackers.
De Ceglie -6.5: Perhaps fortunate to avoid a red card on 12 minutes for pulling back Calaio, but, this aside, De Ceglie was sound today.
Camoranesi -6.0: Far from vintage Camoranesi. Had his moments, but most of Juventus' good work came down the left-hand side.
Marchisio -8.5: Came back in for the dropped Poulsen, and what a difference it made. Made the centre of the pitch his own, scoring Juventus' second, creating a golden chance for Iaquinta, and running the show.
Zanetti -7.0: Did a tactical job, breaking up Siena's play and allowing Marchisio to charge forward. Added to his ludicrously high career total of petty fouls.
Nedved -8.0: The Czech legend has been rolling back the years recently, and he must be seriously reconsidering retirement now. A machine down the left hand side, Nedved wreaked havoc down his flank.
Del Piero -9.0: Restored to the team by Ferrara, Del Piero proved his worth with two goals, one of them a quite stunning free kick, as well as the assist for Marchisio's strike.
Iaquinta -6.5: Linked up well with Del Piero and worked tirelessly. A little clumsy with his final ball, and he missed a one-on-one early in the game.
Subs
Poulsen 6.0: Replaced Zanetti.
