This Serie A clash between Udinese and Juventus at the Dacia Arena on 20th August 2023, ended in a comprehensive victory for the visiting Juventus with the score 0-3, despite Udinese displaying a respectable battling performance statistically.

From the off, Juventus overpowered Udinese exploiting an early advantage with Federico Chiesa scoring in the second minute itself, assisted by Dusan Vlahovic. This was followed by Vlahovic himself converting a penalty at 19:38, evidencing his key role in Juventus's decisive lead. Adrien Rabiot finished off the first half with an astounding goal minute before the half-time whistle, assisted by Andrea Cambiaso, reinforcing the visitor's dominant position.

However, it's worth noting that Udinese weren’t without their opportunities, having recorded 5 shots on target, which is higher than Juventus's 4, illustrating that Udinese did test the defenses of the visiting side. It's interesting to see, though, that these didn’t translate into a goal. However, what handicapped Udinese was their 13 wasteful shots off target compared to Juventus's 5, which statistically explains their struggles in the frontline.

Similarly, Udinese ended up with more corner kicks standing at 7 against Juventus's 3, suggesting they created more opportunities. Unfortunately, these potential goal-scoring chances from set-pieces did not convert into actual goals. Furthermore, with 3 offsides, Udinese fell into Juventus' trap more often than their counterparts, who registered 4, indicating possible frustration in penetrating Juventus defense.

On the disciplinary front, Juventus were more indiscipline committing 3 yellow card offenses compared to Udinese's single, the latter also taking more fouls - 12 to 11. While these figures portray Juventus' rough approach, it did not translate into any substantial setback as there were no red card incidents.

In concluding, while Udinese matched Juventus in certain areas, such as shots on target and corner kicks, the latter's early and decisive strikes proved pivotal in shaping the outcome of the game. Unarguably, Dusan Vlahovic, with a goal and an assist, had a major contribution in determining this. While Juventus displayed clinical efficiency, Udinese suffered from poor execution, as suggested by their higher shots off target and offsides. Therefore, despite respectable efforts, Udinese lacked the cutting edge to threaten the mighty Juventus.
