    Time:90'
    • Juventus
    • Udinese
    • 90+4' That's the final whistle, and Juve have stuttered their way back up to second in the table.
    • 90+4' Udinese have one final chance here with a free-kick. Basta hooks the delivery back across goal and Zapata pounces, but the shot is right at Buffon!
    • 90+3' De Ceglie battles well and wins the ball off Basta and fires a great cross in that Camoranesi just can't reach in time.
    • 90+1' There will be four minutes added on at the end of this match.
    • 90' That doesn't stop Poulsen still getting stuck in and finally earning that yellow card he's been looking for all night.
    • 89' Del Piero is now flagged up for offside as this match begins to wind down.
    • 88' De Ceglie bombs down the wing to retrieve the ball and keep it moving for Juve, but the move ends with del Piero getting a booking for a foul on a defender.
    • 87' Bernardo Corradi comes on for the last few minutes in place of Isla.
    • 85' Final change for Juventus, as the rather disappointing Diego is replaced by de Ceglie.
    • 83' Gokhan Inler trudges off as he is replaced by Sammarco.
    • 82' Basta puts in a robust but fair aerial challenge on del Piero. Thankfully the referee sees it as such too.
    • 80' Diego pounces on a loose ball on the edge of the box, but his strike is right at the keeper.
    • 79' Udinese weather a storm as Sissoko and Camoranesi bang on the door, but they manage to resist once again.
    • 77' Del Piero swings the ball in and Handanovic has to save from his own defender Basta! Handanovic tip it behind! the Slovenian keeper catches the next corner well.
    • 76' Poulsen slips a good ball forward for Amauri to chase but Zapata motors in front of him to intercept and concede the corner.
    • 75' Del Piero has been a virtual passenger since coming on, to be honest.
    • 73' The set piece was lacklustre and Handanovic catches it.
    • 72' Diego wins another free-kick off Inler, and then asks the referee to book him. Shouldn't that get the Brazilian in the book too?
    • 71' Diego wins another foul on the left. Gokhan Inler shoves Diego to the ground for some reason, but the referee lets it go. Handanovic punches the free-kick clear when he could have caught it, but the flag was up anyway.
    • 70' The corner comes in and Floro Flores is penalised for a high boot as Amauri goes to head the ball.
    • 69' D'Agostino releases Floro Flores down the left. Isla is screaming for the cross but the striker is tackled before he can make it.
    • 68' Udinese have a corner. Punched clear by Buffon.
    • 67' Sissoko intercepts a pass bound for Floro Flores and Cannavaro finds the proverbial Row Z.
    • 66' Chiellini comes across as the rebound comes back to Floro Flores and the striker goes down clutching his face! The referee runs over and has a word, but but gives neither a foul nor a booking.
    • 65' Juventus are caught cold and Floro Flores forces an awkward save via the legs of Buffon!
    • 64' Fantastic link up between del Piero and Diego before Grosso sends in a cross. Handanovic punches it away but it falls for Sissoko... fired over the bar!
    • 63' While Basta is treated, the Juve captain's armband goes from Buffon to del Piero and then back again! Anyway, Basta is ok and play continues.
    • 62' Diego gets clattered as he finds Grosso with a pass, but more worryingly Basta then goes down in a heap with no one near him.
    • 61' Handanvic comes way out of his area to clear a long ball upfield.
    • 59' Del Piero looks as eager as a teenager as he latches on to a ball over the top. He knew he was offside though.
    • 58' Jaime Romero is introduced as Pasquale Marino tries to change things around.
    • 57' Sissoko sprays a pass out wide for Camoranesi but it skips off the turf awkwardly for him.
    • 56' Juve have certainly looked a lot more comfortable since the goal. Udinese seem more concerned about not conceding a second than finding an equaliser.
    • 54' The Juve defenders try their best to stitch Buffon with some dodgy back passes! The veteran keeper has to hoof the ball into the stands with Floro Flores lurking.
    • 53' So, th epressure is off del Piero a little now - he was stripped and ready to come on before Grosso's opener, his first for the club incidentally.
    • 52' Here we go; Del Piero and Sissoko come on for Melo and Giovinco.
    • 51' GOAL!! Poulsen lifts a ball into the path of Caceres who volleys it across goal and Fabio Grosso is there to steer it in!
    • 50' The delivery is not attacked by any Udinese players and it's an easy catch for Buffon.
    • 49' Basta makes tracks down the right and this time he does win the corner.
    • 48' Juve go up the other end and win a free-kick. It's central but quite far out. Diego lifts it into the box and Cannavaro is all on his own as he glances the header right to Handanovic! Udinese got the offside trap all wrong then.
    • 47' Basta charges down a blind alley but does well to win a corner for Udinese. Or, at least he should have done, none of the officials saw the final touch and give a goal kick!
    • 46' Udinese kick off and the second half is underway. Alessandro del Piero looks as though he will be coming on at some point soon.
    • 45+3' So the first half ends on a sour note, both in terms of play and aggro.
    • 45+2' Handanovic is up on his feet, but there is plenty of verbal between the two of them. Now Handanovic gets a booking!
    • 45' Diego leaves his foot in as Handanovic comes out to claim a ball and earns a yellow card for it. Handanovic really looks in pain.
    • 44' A shot comes into the Juve box and it deflects into the path of Isla who puts it in the net! The flag is up, it won't count. Isla was offisde when the original shot came in.
    • 42' Isla is working hard down the left flank for Udinese and he wins a throw in an advanced position. Inler's cross from there is disappointing and it sails out for a goal kick.
    • 41' Diego digs an elbow into Asamoah's back as he chases the ball down to the byline. Asamoah gladly accepts the foul.
    • 40' Juve have a free-kick that has got Diego written all over it. The delivery is to Amauri at the near post but Handanovic is again quick off his line to punch clear.
    • 37' Camoranesi is allowed to turn in the box by Basta and he lifts a great ball into the path of Amauri but the striker can only put his weak effort right into Handanovic's hands! Should really be 1-0 to Juve.
    • 36' Asamoah goes into the book for pulling back Diego as he tries to bring the ball through midfield.
    • 35' Isla and Inler combine well to tee up Asamoah but the Ghanaian resists the temptation to shoot and the move breaks down.
    • 35' Del Piero gets a huge cheer as he goes for a jog up the touchline.
    • 33' Nice build-up from Juve before Basta intercepts as Amauri tries to control Camoranesi's cross.
    • 32' This time Handanovic comes out but doesn't get there. Chiellini heads over the bar.
    • 31' Diego will take a corner for Juve. Played short to Giovinco who tees it up for Camoranesi to STRIKE... a clever set piece but the strike ricochets off a defender and out for another corner.
    • 29' Floro Flores with a neat turn on the edge of the Juve box but his shot is blocked.
    • 28' Juve are just beginning to show signs of frustration as Udinese continue to keep them at bay.
    • 26' Poulsen just reminds Floro Flores he's there with a cheeky little trip on the striker.
    • 25' Francesco Lodi gets the ball whacked into his midriff. He's a bit winded, but he'll continue.
    • 24' Diego tries to turn and fire a cross from the byline but every Udinese player apart from Floro Flores is back defending.
    • 23' Asamoah retains the ball, but the ball over the top finds Floro Flores offside.
    • 22' Camoranesi slides in on Lukovic and wins the ball, but thye referee doesn't like it and so Udinese have a free-kick on the left wing. D'Agostino swings it in and it misses everyone in the box.
    • 21' That punch instigates a break through Lodi, but his pass down the channel to Basta runs out of play.
    • 20' Asamoah concedes a free-kick and Juve send men upfield for the set piece. Handanovic is quick off his line to punch clear.
    • 19' Udinese appear to have weathered the early Juve storm and are settling into the game a little better, although they are still struggling to string more than two passes together.
    • 17' A bit of miscommunication between Isla and Lukovic on the left wing and the ball rns out of play. It will be interesting to see how Isla does in his more advanced role this evening.
    • 15' Basra catches Grosso and the Italian gets a knock on the ankle. He's ok to continue, and gets a sporting apology from Basta.
    • 14' Caceres sprints down the wing to try and latch on to a long ball... Zapata is across to see it out.
    • 12' Camoranesi swings the cross in. It's not cleared and it comes to Giovinco... Handanovic saves low at the near post from the little winger.
    • 11' Poulsen with a trademark cynical bodycheck on Asamoah. The Dane certainly gives no quarter - how will the referee treat him this evening?
    • 10' Caceres comes forward to join the attack as Juve pin Udinese back. Camoranesi's cross is overhit and Basta clears.
    • 8' Floro Flores heads back across from the far post but it's just behind Gokhan Inler and Melo can lead the breah out before Diego is flagged offside.
    • 7' Melo tries to find Camoranesi but the pass has too much on it.
    • 6' Diego has a pop from distance, but it's right at Handanovic who takes the sting out of the strike well.
    • 5' Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic jumps high enough to punch clear as Amauri jumps with him.
    • 4' Despite both sides being 'Bianconeri', neither are playing in black and white this evening. Juve are in their grey jerseys that make them look like a team of keepers, while Udinese are in all-yellow.
    • 3' Poulsen tidies up again as Inler lurks behind him.
    • 2' Melo loses out to Floro Flores who plays the ball upfield for Dusan Basta, but Christian Poulsen is there to make the tackle.
    • 1' Juve kick off and we're underway!
    • - The teams are out shaking hands on the pitch. We'll be ready to start in just a tick.
    • - Despite those lovely stats, neither striker is playing today! Amauri comes in for Trezeguet, while Floro Flores starts up front in place of the suspended di Natale.
    • - Antonio Di Natale has been going great guns for Udinese this season. He's already banged in nine goals.
    • - Despite talk of him being finished, seemingly forever, David Trezeguet is Juve's top scorer in the league this season, netting six times in his 10 appearances this term.
    • - Here's a quick rundown of the rest of Sunday's Serie A scores and scorers
    • - Earlier on Sunday, goals from Clarence Seedorf, Marco Borriello, Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho gave Milan a 4-3 win over Cagliari. Milan edge San Siro goal-fest
    • - Juventus can move back up to second in Serie A with a win over Udinese as Alessandro del Piero returns to action. Momo sissoko is also back for the Old Lady, but both start the evening on the bench.
  • Summary

    • 90+4' Udinese have one final chance here with a free-kick. Basta hooks the delivery back across goal and Zapata pounces, but the shot is right at Buffon!
    • 77' Del Piero swings the ball in and Handanovic has to save from his own defender Basta! Handanovic tip it behind! the Slovenian keeper catches the next corner well.
    • 65' Juventus are caught cold and Floro Flores forces an awkward save via the legs of Buffon!
    • 51' GOAL!! Poulsen lifts a ball into the path of Caceres who volleys it across goal and Fabio Grosso is there to steer it in!
    • 44' A shot comes into the Juve box and it deflects into the path of Isla who puts it in the net! The flag is up, it won't count. Isla was offisde when the original shot came in.
    • 37' Camoranesi is allowed to turn in the box by Basta and he lifts a great ball into the path of Amauri but the striker can only put his weak effort right into Handanovic's hands! Should really be 1-0 to Juve.
    • 12' Camoranesi swings the cross in. It's not cleared and it comes to Giovinco... Handanovic saves low at the near post from the little winger.
