Juventus finally broke their eight-match winless streak, thanks to a convincing 3-1 victory over Udinese. The win marked a significant turnaround for the Bianconeri, who had struggled to find form under former coach Igor Tudor.

Interim boss Massimo Brambilla got off to a dream start, with his side dominating the match from the outset. Dusan Vlahovic put Juventus ahead with a penalty in the fifth minute, before Nicolò Zaniolo equalized for Udinese just before halftime. However, Federico Gatti restored Juventus' lead with a header in the 67th minute, and Kenan Yildiz sealed the win with a penalty in stoppage time.

Dusan Vlahovic wasted no time in making his mark on the game, scoring a penalty in the third minute after being fouled by Saba Goglichidze in the box. The Serbian striker confidently dispatched the spot-kick, sending Maduka Okoye the wrong way and giving Juventus an early lead.

The hosts came out with a lot of energy and intensity, looking to make their mark on the game. They thought they had doubled their advantage midway through the first half when Weston McKennie set up Vlahovic for a potential goal, but the offside flag intervened, denying him the chance to double his tally.

Udinese showed great resilience to stem the Juventus flow and slowly gained momentum in the game. However, getting back on level terms seemed like a daunting task as Juventus continued to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities. Despite their efforts, Udinese struggled to create clear-cut chances, leaving them trailing behind Juventus.

Udinese's fortune changed dramatically just before halftime when Nicolò Zaniolo equalized with a stunning curling shot into the bottom corner. This followed a chaotic sequence of events in the penalty box where the Juventus defense failed to clear the ball effectively.

Maduka Okoye made two crucial saves before halftime that significantly impacted the game. He denied Filip Kostic with a fine save and then promptly made another impressive stop, this time against Dusan Vlahovic, who had beaten the offside trap. These saves proved monumental in keeping Udinese in the game.

Juventus showed more of their characteristic play in the second half, but they still had trouble gaining control of the game. Despite dominating possession, they struggled to create scoring opportunities. One of their best chances of the half came from a set piece around the hour mark, when Weston McKennie rose high to head the ball goalwards. However, his effort deflected off a Udinese player and was miraculously saved by goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who made a smart reflex stop to keep the ball out.

Udinese's relief was short-lived, as they fell behind again when Andrea Cambiaso's corner kick was recycled to the far post, where Federico Gatti rose highest to power home a header. The hosts were unlikely to feel secure, having already let their lead slip, but they managed to hold on.

The lead could have been more comfortable for Juventus if not for some excellent goalkeeping from Maduka Okoye. Kenan Yıldız had a shot that seemed destined for the top corner, only to be denied by Okoye's athleticism. Yıldız wasn't so fortunate moments later when his shot hit the post, highlighting Okoye's crucial role in keeping Udinese in the game.

Despite Okoye's impressive performance, which included several crucial saves, Udinese's efforts ultimately fell short, and they suffered their third defeat of the Serie A campaign. The goalkeeper had given his side a glimmer of hope to find a late equalizer, but it was not meant to be.

The victory marked a significant boost for Juventus, who are now firmly back in the European race. The team sealed the win with a penalty kick in the dying moments, courtesy of Kenan Yıldız, who scored his team's third goal and sealed the 3-1 victory over Udinese.
