JUVENTUS stayed atop Serie A following a 0-0 draw at Chievo Verona, one of five scoreless stalemates in the Italian league yesterday.
The closest either side came to scoring was a header off the post from Alessandro Del Piero in the 73rd minute, three minutes after the 36-year-old Juventus captain came on.
Juventus had another chance in the 75th but Chievo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino deflected a long effort from Simone Pepe over the bar, and Del Piero preserved the draw by clearing the ball off the line in the 84th following a corner from United States international Michael Bradley.
With new coach Antonio Conte guiding a long list of new players, Juventus remains unbeaten.
Juventus and Udinese each have 12 points through six matches but Juventus leads on goals scored.
Udinese also drew 0-0 at Atalanta, and Cagliari stayed one point behind the leaders after another scoreless result against Siena.
Ten-man Genoa and Lecce also played to a 0-0 draw after defender Kakha Kaladze picked up his second yellow card in the 79th.
In the day's only match with a goal, Bologna got its first win by beating Novara 2-0 with scores from Gaston Ramirez and Robert Acquafresca in coach Stefano Pioli's debut.
Earlier in the lunchtime fixture, Cesena held Fiorentina to a 0-0 draw despite losing striker Adrian Mutu to a straight red card.
AS Roma was facing Lazio in the Rome derby later.
On Saturday, Napoli missed the chance to go top after a shock 1-2 home defeat by Parma as champion AC Milan hit form with a 3-0 win over Palermo and Inter Milan lost 1-2 at Catania.
