Rosenborg starts well and put in difficulty the bianconera defence,(today at the debut with the black uniform) with Skammelsrud that tries to frighten Buffon, and then doesn’t succed in touching a cross from Brattbakk. After the first five minutes in favour of the Norwegian Juve starts to rule. The first to have a try is Del Piero, appeared in good shape. Nice moving from Alex at the 13', his unlucky effort goes wide. Two minutes later is still him to be the star with a shot from a long distance, that is saved by Arason. Then it’s O'Neill’s time that tries two free-kicks: the first gets saved and the second goes wide.

At the 31' nice moving by Zambrotta on the left crossing to Trezeguet, but the Frenchmen can’t shot. Bianconeri are still dangerous at the 34' with O'Neill: the Uruguayan, running to the net gets humpered in the area by Skammelsrud. Juventus complain. After half an hour of Lippi’s team domain, Rosenborg tries with Brattbakk, but his effort goes over the bar.

Second half with Juve doing the match. Starts Zenoni that moved on the left side passes to Del Piero , whose shot is saved. Rosenborg, with Olsen in place of Strand, tries with Enerly, anticipated in the area by Montero. Then the bianconero show begins: Lippi’s team hits two bars in two minutes, first with O'Neill, then substituted by Salas, and after with Del Piero. Alex still dangerous, five minutes later but this time Arason saves his free-kick. It’s a target practice: Salas, Zenoni and Trezeguet try to score but they don’t succeed.

Lippi substitutes Zenoni with Maresca that appoint himself to the shooters’ list but Arason saves everything. The newcomer produces two perfect assists, the first is for Zambrotta, the second for Salas, but the goal looks like bewitched as the midfielder hits the post and the Cilean’s header is saved on the goal line. To break this sorcery comes Del Piero who ends his beatiful match with a right shoot that beats the net on a Trezeguet’s passing (0-1). But the destiny didn’t smile to the bianconeri that had one of their best matches of the beginning of the season. Rosenborg infact, that have not been dangerous for all the second half in the area juventina, move forward with Brattbakk stopped by Buffon coming out: the referee says it’s penalty and Skammelsrud scores three minutes before the end of the regular time. (1-1).
