A missed penalty from Marco Tumminello saw Juventus beat fellow Serie A club Roma in the International Champions Cup in Massachusetts.

The Bianconeri converted all five of their penalties as the game finished 1-1 in normal time at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Successful spot-kicks from Stephan Lichtsteiner, Andrea Barzagli, Federico Bernardeschi, Sami Khedira and Douglas Costa ensured victory for the Serie A champions.

Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring for Juventus in the 29th minute after he rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the net from a tricky angle.

But former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko found an equaliser in the 74th minute after linking up with a former City full-back, Aleksandar Kolarov, whose low cross found the Bosnia international unmarked in the box which he comfortably nodded in.
