Juventus: Di Gregorio 6; Alberto Costa 6, Veiga 6.5, Kelly 6, Cambiaso 6 (72′ Weah 6); McKennie 6.5 (80′ Douglas Luiz N/A), Locatelli 6.5, Conceiçao 7 (91′ Adzic N/A); Nico Gonzalez 7, Yildiz 7.5 (91′ Mbangula N/A); Kolo Muani 5 (72′ Vlahovic 7). Coach: Tudor 6.5.
Best Juventus players: Yildiz 7.5—His performance improved as minutes passed, and he ultimately was decisive with two assists. Special mentions to Nico and Conceiçao as well. The Argentine took a while to get into the game, and his passing was not always accurate, but he had the best chances for Juve, including a crucial goal. Conceiçao didn’t score but was a constant threat thanks to his pace.
Lowest Juventus rating: Kolo Muani 5 – Missed one chance and lost possession six times. Didn’t do much to get involved in the attacking play.
Juventus coach: Tudor 6.5 – Juventus just needed a win. The style didn’t matter and Tudor got the job done. One more to go, and Juventus still holds their fate in their hands.
Udinese: Okoye 7; Kabasele 6.5 (76′ Giannetti 6), Kristensen 5.5, Solet 5; Ehizibue 6.5, Karlstrom 5.5, Lovric 5.5 (60′ Rui Modesto 6), Zarraga 5.5, Kamara 5.5 (29′ Zemura 5.5); Ekkelenkamp 6 (76′ Sanchez 6); Davis 5.5. Coach: Runjaić.
Best Udinese player: Okoye 7 – Excellent save on Conceiçao in the second half, but he could do nothing to avoid Nico’s goal.
Lowest Udinese rating: Solet 5 – Lost possession cheaply in the buildup to Juventus’ goal. It’s a shame because his performance had been excellent.
Udinese coach: Runjaić 6 – Udinese secured survival weeks ago, but credit them for putting in a brave performance, especially in the second half.
