Half-Time Report: Juventus fight back to lead Empoli

Patrice Evra heads Juventus into a 2-1 half-time lead in their Serie A match at Empoli.

Juventus have come from behind to take a 2-1 lead into the break in their Serie A clash against Empoli this afternoon.

Mario Mandzukic came close to giving the visitors the lead when he arrived to meet Juan Cuadrado's cross at the back post, but he could only turn the ball wide of the target.

Within minutes Empoli took the lead as Massimo Maccarone collected the ball just outside the box, and was allowed space to turn before drilling a low strike past Gianluigi Buffon and into the bottom corner.

However, Juventus were not behind for long, as the hosts failed to deal with Sami Khedira's ball into the box, allowing Mandzukic to slide in and finish from close range.

It got even better for the Old Lady six minutes later when Patrice Evra rose to meet Cuadrado's corner, before powering in a header to give his side the lead.
