Player Ratings: Juventus 2-1 Udinese

Produced two world-class saves to keep his side in the balance, and couldn’t have done anything to stop Flora Flores’ fine effort.

Top work at the back as he centred the three defenders, and made sure Di Natale didn’t get a sniff. Left stranded with Flora Flores as the visitors equalised, although that was more of a communication problem than anything else.

Disposed Di Natale well just on the half hour mark, then regained possession shortly after with a clean slide tackle. Good overall performance.

The 24-year-old did well to keep Udinese at bay, and was also an asset going forward in the first half, heading down into good areas.

Decent performance by the Swiss international, who bossed the 3-5-2 formation put out by Conte.

Looked less comfortable on the ball than in other games, perhaps thanks to the extreme weather conditions, but still put in a shift for Juve, especially through his set-pieces.

Good vision throughout the game. Movement off the ball was exceptional and proved the difference in a very tight encounter.

Could see his intention in his role behind the attack, but got booked and looked less cynical after the break.

Looked good going forward, and had a decent effort saved in the first half. Replaced by Simone Pepe on the hour mark.

Great distribution and provided some excellent crosses into dangerous areas. Subbed on the hour-mark.

Made a fine effort in the first half to deny Estigarribia a clear chance, however was not at fault for Juve’s first goal as he equalled Quagliarella’s effort but could have covered his angles better for Matri’s second.

Run his socks off and put in a good display, and proved to be the Bianconeri’s best player. Replaced by fresh legs in the second half.

Poor effort from the Brazilian, who struggled against Matri throughout.

Partnered Fernandes in midfield and moved the ball around well. Could have done better defensively as Pirlo took full advantage on occasions.

An average game by his standards, and didn’t do much to keep the Juve attack at bay.

Barely noticeable as the visitors went forward and proved the weaker link of the team.

Good effort from the Colombian as he stamped his way through the game, tackling the likes of Vidal and Pirlo with gusto.

Average display from the former Parma defender, who essentially failed to get going.

Did OK with Basta in the heart of the pitch, commanding display but didn’t prove the difference in the clash.

Should have done better with his chance in the second half, shooting just wide after escaping his marker. Could have sneaked an equaliser late on but scuffed his shot.
