Half-Time Report: Juventus, Udinese scoreless at break in Serie A opener

Juventus and Udinese are scoreless at half time in their Serie A opener at Juventus Stadium.

Serie A champions Juventus have not been able to find a way through against Udinese in the first half of their season opener at Juventus Stadium.

Kingsley Coman, chosen ahead of Fernando Llorente and summer signing Paulo Dybala in the Juventus attack, had the first opportunity of the game but could not get enough power behind his fifth-minute shot to trouble Orestis Karnezis.

Juventus enjoyed the vast majority of possession in the early stages and were causing trouble for the Udinese defence, Leonardo Bonucci and Stephan Lichtsteiner failing to make the most of free kicks in dangerous areas.

The home side's first big chance came after 20 minutes through former Udinese man Roberto Pereyra, signed permanently by Juventus this summer, but the midfielder could not punish his former club as Karnezis saved his effort from close range.

Udinese debutant Ali Adnan had his side's first attempt on goal when his shot from a tight angle hit the side-netting before Lichtsteiner stung Karnezis's palms with a near-post effort.

The impressive Swiss right-back then turned provider by swinging in a cross for Mario Mandzukic, but the Croatian striker could only head over the bar at the back post as the sides went into the interval without a breakthrough.
