Yildiz stars as Juventus sinks Udinese
Kenan Yildiz grabbed two assists to lead Juventus to a 2-0 victory over Udinese at the Allianz Stadium to edge closer to a Champions League spot next season.
Yildiz took his Serie A goal contribution tally to 10 (six goals, four assists) with his display, with Juve knowing a win over Venezia on the final day will seal a top-four finish.
Igor Tudor's team produced a dominant showing in the first half, registering 16 shots to Udinese's three, but were unable to find a way past visiting goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
Randal Kolo Muani had the hosts' best opportunity, seeing his chipped effort repelled by Okoye before Nicolas Gonzalez's shot from distance was pushed onto the post.
Juventus made its pressure pay in the 61st minute when Gonzalez rifled the ball into the left corner after Oumar Solet was dispossessed in his own box.
The host side continued to threaten but was unable to create any clear-cut openings until two minutes from time through top scorer Dusan Vlahovic.
Yildiz led a lightning break from an Udinese attack, playing Vlahovic into the box before the Serbian collected the ball and picked out the bottom-right corner with a fine finish.
Fourth-placed Juventus moved up to 67 points, one ahead of Roma, which beat AC Milan 3-1, with Lazio a point further adrift after they held Inter to a 2-2 draw.
