Torino and Udinese shared the spoils at Stadio Olimpico in Turin as they played out a goalless draw in Serie A on Wednesday.

Jean-Francois Gillet was called into early action by the Bianconeri, with Andrea Lazzari forcing him into making a good save.

Mehdi Benatia then failed to keep his shot on target for Udinese, as did Torino's Alan Stevanovic.

Migjen Basha almost broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark when he smashed his half-volley from distance against the Udinese crossbar.

Torino were denied by the woodwork again in the early minutes of the second half, as Zeljko Brkic fingertipped Gianluca Sansone's attempt onto the frame of the Udinese goal.

The hosts hit the woodwork for the third time on 79 minutes when Mario Alberto Santana's free kick clipped the post.

Then in the final minutes in the match, Udinese had a huge shout for a goal turned down, as Benatia's flick from a corner that Gillet kept out appeared to have crossed the line.
