Juventus End Winless Run With Home Success

Juventus, the most decorated side in Serie A, finally returned to winning ways by overcoming Udinese 3:1 at home in the ninth round of the Italian championship. This victory was the Turin outfit’s first since their dramatic 4:3 result against Inter on 13 September, bringing to an end a period of over a month and a half without securing all three points.

The match saw a lively start, as Dušan Vlahović successfully converted a penalty in the fifth minute, putting Juventus ahead and snapping his own goalless streak which had stretched across six fixtures for the Bianconeri. Despite this early advantage, Udinese levelled proceedings in first-half stoppage time through Nicolò Zaniolo, ensuring the sides were even at the interval.

Second-Half Dominance and Penalty Drama

After the break, Juventus reasserted control. Federico Gatti restored the hosts’ lead in the 67th minute with a powerful header from a corner. In the dying moments of stoppage time, Kenan Yıldız secured the victory with a penalty of his own – a spot kick he had won himself. Juventus’s clinical finishing, particularly from set pieces and penalties, proved decisive.

With this result, Juventus moved up to sixth place in the Serie A standings, accumulating 15 points. Udinese, meanwhile, sit ninth on 12 points.
