On Saturday, Juventus moved up to the temporary top of Serie A with a 1-1 draw at Verona, while AC Milan defeated Udinese 3-0 to go within one point of the Turin powerhouses. Francisco Conceicao's long-range shot in the 19th minute gave Igor Tudor's team the lead they needed to keep up their flawless start to the domestic competition. Gift Orban's penalty kick before halftime gave hosts Verona a point, and Suat Serdar's goal in the second half gave them hope for their first victory of the season, but VAR disregarded it following an offside in the build-up.
Juventus appeared lifeless at the conclusion of Saturday's encounter after defeating Inter Milan 4-3 the previous week and drawing 4-4 at home against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League midweek. However, with Antonio Conte's champions playing promoted Pisa and Milan on Monday, they lead Serie A with 10 points, one point ahead of Napoli.
