A point of quality. Udinese stops Juventus only regretting not getting a, well deserved victory. This match is the end of the 38 consecutive games in which Juventus never got a draw.
In the first half of the match Delneri's Udinese demonstrated its skill taking on Juventus in the midfield.
Zapata goes to the goal area forcing the opposite team defense to keep their guard up. In midfield Fofana acts as a pivot until he gets hurt and exits the field at 35' after a clash with Alex Sandro. But right after only 10 are left on the field while waiting for a change , Zapata goes on the left, defends himself from Bonucci and then uses an extremely powerful kick that sends the ball on the near post under Buffon's legs and arrriving on the net. After the rejoicing at 39? Delneri sendsBadu on the field to replace Fofana. A very bad injury for the french player:broken fibula of the left leg a long pause is expected. No time for Juventus to react, the first half ends with an advantage for Udinese thanks to Zapata's goal.
The second half starts without any changes. Danilo and C. attitude is the same as the first half of the match. Juventus can't get into the game. At 13' contact between Pertica and Alex Sandro and free kick on the right side. Udinese complains loudly about the foul, doubts even for the tv images. Dyabala goes in the middle of the area and Bonucci arrives and goes for a header to even the score. Delneri complains and is invited to left the field.
Udinese doesn't lose focus.. Danilo almost gets a goal with a header but Buffon manages to stop him, meanwhile Juventus doesn't make many problems to Karnezis. Udinese goes for a final forcing with an assault on Buffon's net but nothing happens. After 4' minutes of recovery the match ends with a 1-1. A heavy draw obtaines through determination, character and wise tactics in a game that entertained the fans at Dacia Arena.
Ruining the "bianconeri" joy is the news about Fofana injury. On monday the final diagnosis which will tell us the time it will take for the french midfielder to recover.
Next Sunday away game at Pescara.
