Juventus beats Udinese to maintain lead
Print Edition
SEBASTIAN Giovinco and Fernando Llorente helped Juventus beat Udinese 2-0 on Monday and restore its eight-point lead at the top of the Serie A table.
With Carlos Tevez rested, Giovinco was handed a rare start and he put Juventus in front in the 16th minute, dribbling his way into the right of the area before curling a shot into the far corner. Juventus doubled its lead 10 minutes later when Llorente prodded in a rebound after a goalmouth scramble following a corner.
“This was a ‘red flag’ match, we could have lost points at Udine,” Conte said. “But we were very good in approaching the match with the right focus and attitude. We have to stay on the ball because Roma won’t give up,
“I knew (Giovinco) was in great form. He has to realize he can make the difference even in a team like Juventus. We decided to rest Carlos also because he still has a bit of a thigh problem. We need everyone because we are involved on two fronts.”
In Spain, Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz scored goals in each half to help the Basque club beat Malaga 3-0, strengthening its hold on Spain’s final Champions League berth.
