Juventus have failed to break the deadlock against Udinese in the first half of their Serie A clash in Turin.

Antonio Conte's side controlled much of the proceedings in the opening 45 minutes but could not really test goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic more than once.

The first chance of any kind fell to the visitors from Udine in the sixth minute as Allan Loureiro tried his luck from outside the area, but in vain.

Then moments later Brkic was forced into a last-ditch save from a Carlos Tevez attempt.

Tevez came close again for the Italian champions on two more occasions before the end of the half, while Antonio Di Natale's lobbed effort was thwarted by Gianluigi Buffon just before the half-hour mark.
