End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: It's all over! Juventus won't claim their ninth consecutive title tonight on a night that increases pressure on Maurizio Sarri, whose side throw away points from a winning position once more. It's a fifth defeat of the campaign for the champions.
90'+2
GOAL! Udinese 2-1 Juventus (Fofana): OH MY! Juventus are stunned. Udinese haven't beaten Juve in a decade - but Seko Fofana throws a huge spanner in the works with a late, late goal. Fofana shows great strength to hold off de Ligt and co before coolly place it under Szczesny.

90'
There will be FOUR minutes added on...
87'
Dybala slaloms into the penalty area but goes over inside the crowded penalty area. There's nothing doing from the referee - and no appeals from the Juve forward.
84'
Udinese win a free-kick in a dangerous area. De Paul's delivery is excellent but Okaka's header is poor.
82'
Ronaldo forces a corner as Juve throw caution to the wind in search of maximum points. Alex Sandro gets plenty of power behind his shot but it's always rising over the bar.
80'
Juventus's desperation grows. Dybala is unable to get a shot away but it comes to Ronaldo who fires wide. His appeals for a corner are ignored.
78'
Samir comes on for Ter Avest as Udinese, seemingly happy with the point, shore up their defence.

Yellow card! Zeegelaar goes into the book for a dangerous challenge, not sure what he was thinking there.

End-to-end action now. Udinese break, Sema drives down the left in space and tries to find Okaka with a low cross to the near post. Szczesny's starting position is perfect, though, and he races out to smother the ball.
62'
Brilliant goalkeeping from Udinese's Musso as he plucks Dybala's curling shot out of the air and does well to hold on with the predators ready to pounce.
61'
Fofana is down and needs treatment. That will give Juve a chance to catch a breather. Sarri's men have been second-best since the restart.
59'
The confidence is flowing in the home side's ranks now, as Sarri makes his first changes of the game. Blaise Matiudi and Douglas Costa come on for Ramsey and Bernardeschi.

Great defending from de Ligt as he gets the slightest touch to divert the ball away from Okaka, who looked certain to score from another wicked Sema delivery.
55'
So, as it stands, Juve will NOT be declared champions tonight. They are being held by relegation-threatened Udinese. The hosts are playing some positive football at the moment. They look more than up for the fight.
