Udinese stopped Juventus, which could secure the title today. Luca Gotti`s team won 2-1 in Udine after a turnaround in the second half. De Licht opened the scoring shortly before the break. Nestorovski equalized in the 52nd minute, and at the very end Fofana brought success to the hosts.
After the loss, the Bianconeri have a six-point lead over Atalanta at the top three rounds before the end. Few doubt that Sarri`s team will reach the title, but the form of the team worries the fans. Today, Juve recorded their second loss in their last five games, in which they have only one success.
Udinese took an extremely valuable victory in the fight for survival and already seven points separate it from the relegation zone.
Juventus had more control of the ball from the start. Cristiano Ronaldo`s first shot came in the fourth minute, but the ball went straight into Musso`s hands. Very early, however, Udinese could take the lead. After Sema`s cross, Danilo deflected the ball to his own goal and it hit the crossbar. The hosts, who are struggling to survive in Serie A, tried to stand still, but themselves complicated the task with mistakes in defense. Their goalkeeper had to save a ball deflected by a teammate, but failed to score an own goal. Musso often had work to do, and his next appearance was to reflect Dybala`s volley perfectly.
Ronaldo was not far from opening the scoring in the 26th minute. He shot hard from a distance, but the ball went past the door. Three minutes before the break, Juventus struck and he came from a surprising place. De Licht opened the score with a long shot. The ball reached the Dutch defender after clearing, he advanced and with a low but very precise shot matted the defense and the goalkeeper. The hosts started the second part with ambition, dominated for a short period in the 52nd minute. Sema broke from the left and sent a great cross into the penalty area, and Nestorovski with a flying plunge hit the ball into the net. Maurizio Sarri`s team gradually regained some control and played more with the ball, but could not find its best rhythm. Ronaldo did not have a day, and his next shot also did not find the target.
The Bianconeri pressed in the last part of the match, but this freed up space for counterattacks by the hosts. Juventus reached several crossings that did not lead to anything.
In extra time Udinese takes advantage of bringing the opponent to the front. Fofana received the ball in the field of the guests. He advanced, dealt with several defenders of the opponent, got rid of De Licht and left no chances to Szczesny.
UDINESE - JUVENTUS 2:1
0:1-De Licht (42)
1:1-Nestorovsky (52)
2:1-Fofana (92)
