Udinese 0-0 Juventus
What an effort.
Cristiano Ronaldo gets in the box again but his shot is blocked and it falls to the dangerous Miralem Pjanic around 30 yards out.
The Bosnian takes a touch to set himself and without much backlift, clips an effort towards the top corner but is drifts inches wide.
Udinese 0-0 Juventus
Better from Juventus.
Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, an absolute baller - a great talent, swings in a cross from the right which Cristiano Ronaldo hangs in the air to meet, but heads his effort over.
Ronaldo frustrated he could not work the goalkeeper.

Ronaldo was called "a great professional" as he prepared to return for Juventus in their Serie A match at Udinese on Saturday.
Portugal forward Ronaldo, 33, has "firmly" denied raping Kathryn Mayorga at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
He missed Tuesday's Champions League win against Young Boys through suspension after being sent off against Valencia.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri said he was "ready to return to action".
"I've known Cristiano for three months now and for over 15 years of his career he has shown to be a great professional both on and off the pitch," he added.
"He has broad shoulders, so much so that he can be completely focused on the match."
