Niccolò Savona doubled the lead in the 37th minute with a powerful low shot, capitalizing on a rebound after a shot hit the post.
Udinese had a goal disallowed in the 52nd minute due to a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio, and their hopes of a comeback were further dashed when Lorenzo Luca’s header was blocked by the crossbar in the 83rd minute.
The match ended with Juventus emerging victorious, securing a 2-0 win that lifted them to 21 points in the league standings.
