AC Milan and Juventus battled to a goalless stalemate at the San Siro on Saturday in a Serie A clash that offered little in terms of entertainment or scoring opportunities.
Juventus, dealing with the absence of their injured top scorer, Dusan Vlahovic, fielded an unconventional lineup that lacked a natural striker.
Midfielders Weston McKennie and Teun Koopmeiners were tasked with leading the attack, but despite their efforts, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances.
While Juventus showed a slightly more positive approach, their lack of offensive edge kept the Milan defense relatively untroubled.
The match saw few highlights, with both teams appearing cautious and unwilling to take risks.
Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, delayed making substitutions, only bringing on forward Timothy Weah in the 80th minute.
However, the introduction of Weah failed to inject any urgency into the game, which concluded to the discontent of the fans, as evidenced by the boos echoing around the stadium at full-time.
With this result, Juventus remain the only unbeaten team in Serie A this season. However, their seventh draw in the campaign keeps them in sixth place, three points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan.
AC Milan, meanwhile, remain in seventh, six points behind Juventus, though they have a game in hand to potentially narrow the gap.
