Juventus seals vital win away at Udinese
Juventus took the advantage in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A, beating Udinese to put the pressure on Como and Roma.
Victory means head Juve coach Luciano Spalletti is just one win away from his 300th victory in Serie A, moving to 299 wins in Italy's top flight as a coach thanks to Jeremie Boga's close-range finish late in the first half.
Kenan Yildiz was the spark for Juve with a brilliant run down the left, with the youngster picking his head up and driving in a low cross from which Boga could hardly miss.
Yildiz was the creator as Juve thought it had made it 2-0 through Francisco Conceicao midway through the second half, only for the goal to be disallowed.
A video assistant referee (VAR) check deemed that Teun Koopmeiners was stood directly in Maduka Okoye's line of sight, in an offside position.
However, that decision did not come back to bite Juve, which moved into the top four ahead of a crucial clash between fifth-place Como and sixth-place Roma on Monday (AEDT).
