Match Report
Juventus ground out a vital 1-0 win at Udinese on Friday night to climb into the Serie A top four. Jérémie Boga struck the decisive blow in the 38th minute, latching onto a pinpoint delivery from Kenan Yildiz to fire past goalkeeper Maduka Okoye from close range.
Juventus dominated the contest with 22 shots to Udinese's 10 but couldn't put the game to bed. Francisco Conceição thought he'd doubled the lead in the 69th minute, only for VAR to chalk it off after Teun Koopmeiners was judged offside and interfering with Okoye's line of sight.
Okoye kept Udinese in the contest with six saves, but the hosts lacked the cutting edge to find an equaliser.
The result lifts Juventus to 53 points in fourth place, strengthening their Champions League push. For Udinese, it's another frustrating evening as they remain stuck in mid-table on 36 points.
