  Gianluigi Buffon

  Kept out Jovetic in the 12th minute from an acute angle and continued to patrol his area well. Although Fiorentina threatened, Buffon was rarely stretched and looked at ease with all that he was posed with.

  Paolo De Ceglie

  The left-back found himself being pulled apart by Cuardado during the first half and could not cope with the Colombian's energy. He fought fire with fire in the second half though and restricted his impact thereafter.

  Federico Peluso

  An average performance from the defender who is yet to inspire complete confidence since signing from Atalanta. He made some rash challenges when stepping up but still contributed to the clean sheet.

  Andrea Barzagli Top of the Match

  Marshaled the back line superbly, ensuring great organization and composure to limit Fiorentina mainly to efforts from distance. His experience was priceless in the absence of Chiellini and Bonucci.

  Stephan Lichtsteiner

  Did not have an awful lot of defending to do so could regularly offer width up on the right. He forced a great save from Viviano in the first half after cutting in on his unfavored left boot.

  3.00

  Claudio Marchisio

  Put in a really energetic display and was working at 100 percent from the first whistle. He saw a shot go narrowly wide of the goal but could have supported the strikers a lot more than he did.

  Andrea Pirlo

  Looked at his metronomic best in the opening stages, sending pass after pass in behind the Viola defense. His service to the strikers was of the highest quality, though his influence waned later on.

  4.00

  Arturo Vidal

  The Chilean kept a close eye on Borja Valero and limited the amount that the Spaniard could influence proceedings. He hounded him continually and showed his attacking acumen with a brilliant run to create Juve's second of the night.

  Luca Marrone

  Did not look out of place as a makeshift center back, retaining his typically cool demeanor. The 22-year-old showed a great deal of versatility with a competent defensive display.

  3.00

  Mirko Vučinić

  Unperturbed by an early Viviano save, Vucinic slammed in a marvelous opener from 25 yards. He continued to worry the Viola by dropping deep to pick up the ball but he should have grabbed a second in the 32nd minute.

  Alessandro Matri

  The striker had very little involvement in the first half until he swept home just before the break. However, he did well to peel away from the defenders for his goal and continued to look bright on the counterattack in the second half.

  Paul Pogba

  The combative midfielder was only given 15 minutes in place of Matri but could have grabbed a goal had it not been for a deflection.

  Sebastian Giovinco

  His pace and direct running provided a very different option to Vucinic in the latter stages. He could have got on the scoresheet but for a Viviano save.

  Emiliano Viviano

  Made some decent saves during the opening exchanges but there was very little he could do to keep Vucinic's stinging volley out. He was let down by some poor defending as Matri slotted in the second.

  Gonzalo Rodríguez Flop of the Match

  Was extremely complacent at the back, trying to take time on the ball that he really did not have. Was let off the hook after being dispossessed by Vucinic in the 32nd minute but did not really learn his lesson.

  2.00

  Facundo Roncaglia

  The Argentine was the best of a bad bunch at the back but still lacked discipline as the Viola were pulled apart by their hosts. His positioning was frequently poor and afforded Juve chance after chance.

  2.50

  Stefan Savic

  Had an absolute nightmare in Turin. The Montenegrin's headed clearance was smashed straight into the net by Vucinic and he then followed the ball and left Matri in space to score the second. He was then withdrawn at half time.

  2.50

  Manuel Pasqual

  Pushed on in the early stages but struggled to get the better of Lichtsteiner. He was bullied off the ball by Vidal as the Chilean charged into the box to set up the second of the night.

  2.50

  David Pizarro

  The former Manchester City man offered a route out for many of his teammates in the first half. But as the game wore on he was left chasing the ball around the midfield rather than sitting on it.

  3.00

  Juan Guillermo Cuadrado

  The Colombian starter the game in a very bright manner and caused De Ceglie a lot of problems with his pace and movement. He was not allowed as much freedom in the second half and could not provide a similar danger.

•

  2.50

  Borja Valero Iglesias

  Tried his best to dictate the tempo of the game when he got on the ball but ultimately did not have enough possession to truly boss the midfield. He struggled to find the space in which he could make his ability felt.

  2.00

  Rômulo

  The Brazilian added very little to his side as he hardly got a second on the ball all evening. He seemed two steps off the pace in the heart of the midfield battle and never really got going.

  2.00

  Stevan Jovetic

  The Montenegrin was lively early on, linking up positively with Toni as well as the midfielders. However, he only managed to penetrate the area once and was thwarted by Buffon and failed to inspire anything further.

  2.00

  Luca Toni

  Won a few headers up against the Juve defenders but was unable to best them on the deck. He did not manage to test Buffon in a largely uninspiring performance against his former club.

  Nenad Tomovic

  Replaced the abysmal Savic at half time and looked far more assured than his teammate. He never appeared rushed and kept a close eye on Matri.

  Came on for Luca Toni in the 57th minute but failed to offer anything different to the attack.

  Adem Ljajic

  Brought on for Jovetic with just over 15 minutes remaining and made a few good dribbles in the closing stages, though there was no end product.
