With a 2-0 victory over Udinese thanks to goals from Nicolo Savona and Maduka Okoye, Juventus made sure they were back to winning ways in Serie A. Following consecutive draws with Inter and Parma, as well as their Champions League loss to Stuttgart, Thiago Motta's team performed admirably away from home.

When Khephren Thuram's attempt hit the post in the 19th minute but fortunately rebounded off Okoye's back and into his own net, Juventus seized the lead. Eight minutes before halftime, Savona increased the visitors' lead. The young Italian was the first to respond when Kenan Yildiz's effort bounced off the post. However, Udinese improved after the interval, and Lorenzo Lucca nearly cut the lead in half, but his shot struck the crossbar in the 83rd minute.
