After going two games unbeaten against Fiorentina and Atalanta, Udinese were narrowly beaten by Champions League-chasing Juventus at Bluenergy Stadium.
Kenan Yildiz, a thorn in Udinese's side all evening, set up Jeremie Boga for the only goal of the game seven minutes before half time.
Kosta Runjaic's side battled valiantly in search of an equaliser but none was forthcoming.
The result leaves Udinese in 11th place on 36 points.
