Highlights

90+2

That's it from Stadio Friuli. 1-4.

90'

The hosts have the ball as the game draws to a close.

89'

The visitors work the ball all around the pitch looking to work that angle for another opportunity but the home defence stays resolute.

87'

Pirlo continues to dictate things in the middle of midfield here. Fantastic player.

85'

Juventus players look in warm down mode with very little pressure on the ball now.

83'

It is getting a little scrappy as the game draws to a close but the hosts will just want this one over so they can start their season come next week.

80'

That Udinese goal has brought the game to life and it is getting a little ragged again. Udinese getting more of the ball now.

78'

But wait. Consolation for the hosts as the Juve defence fail to clear and Lazzari capitalises to fire past Buffon from close range. 1-4.

76'

This game is a bit of a dead rubber now.

73'

Di Natale is withdrawn for Allan and he cuts a desolate figure as he trudges straight down the tunnel – possible injury.

71'

Giovinco is again on the shoulder of the last man and, having received the ball from Pirlo, he fires across Padelli and into the far corner from just inside the box. 0-4.

69'

Vucinic breaks the offside trap but Padelli is alert and denies the forward from close range.

68'

Udinese are showing a little going forward now but this time Armero’s ball to the back post has too much on it and it carries though to Buffon.

66'

The hosts break with Muriel, who looks for a return pass from Di Natale but the ball over the top has just too much on it.

64'

This is almost a training exercise now as the Italian champions pass the ball in front of their hosts before every now and then speeding up proceedings or clipping a ball over the top. Udinese, however, remain firm in the face of this almost constant attacking onslaught.

61'

Giovinco offers in behind again as Juve looked for another. His haste gives away a free-kick though.

57'

Looks like the hosts have resigned themselves to a three goal defeat as they offer very little going forward. Juve working in the tightest of spaces now as the hosts become very compact.

55'

This could be a rout here.

53'

Padelli can’t hold Marchisio’s left footed effort from twenty yards out or so and Giovinco pounces to make it three. 0-3.

51'

Vucinic’s neat back heel finds Giovinco, who meanders this way and that in the box to work some space for a shot. He is off balance when he takes it though and the effort sails over.
