MILAN (AP) \u2014 Roma missed the chance to go to the top of Serie A after losing at Juventus 2-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Francisco Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Lo\u00efs Openda scored for Juventus before Tommaso Baldanzi set up a frantic finale. Juventus moved to within one point of fourth-placed Roma.<\/p>\n
Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s side would have moved level with Serie A leader Inter Milan with a win, as the three teams above Roma \u2014 and Bologna \u2014 were involved in the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Paulo Dybala, who won five Serie A titles with Juventus, almost got Roma off to the perfect start but his finish was too weak and straight into the arms of Bianconeri goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.<\/p>\n
Juventus broke the deadlock on halftime. Concei\u00e7\u00e3o found Kenan Y\u0131ld\u0131z on the left and he cut inside before putting in a low cross that was backheeled on by Andrea Cambiaso to Concei\u00e7\u00e3o who fired across into the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n
Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar pulled off magnificent saves and did well again in the 70th to parry Weston McKennie\u2019s header but the United States international touched on the rebound for Openda to slot into an empty net.<\/p>\n
Roma got back into the match five minutes later after Wesley did brilliantly to win the ball back and sent it through to Lewis Ferguson. His angled drive was saved by Di Gregorio but Baldanzi tapped in the rebound.<\/p>\n
Y\u0131ld\u0131z hit the right post in the 80th.<\/p>\n
No late winner<\/p>\n
Lazio and Cremonese both failed to make the most of their opportunities as they played out a 0-0 draw.<\/p>\n
Lazio, which snatched a 1-0 win against Parma last weekend despite ending the match with nine men, almost got another last-gasp winner.<\/p>\n
Cremonese defender Federico Ceccherini was shown a straight red card in the fourth minute of stoppage time for bringing down Matteo Cancellieri just outside the area when the Lazio forward was through on goal.<\/p>\n
Danilo Cataldi\u2019s free kick skimmed the top of the crossbar.<\/p>\n
