There's not too long left to play until the break now, can Udinese pull one back before the half-time whistle and make the final few minutes interesting?
36'
The home supporters are enjoying this performance from their side so far, they've been dominant and could score a few more goals tonight.
34'
Douglas Costa has had a quiet game for Juventus so far, he is playing out on the left wing and hasn't been involved too much in the final third, with much of the hosts playing coming down the right.
30'
The visitors just aren't passing the ball around the pitch quickly enough to break through the Juve defence, as when they do have to defend, the hosts are getting everyone back and into a 4-5-1 formation, with just Higuain left up top.

16'
G. Higuaín has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by P. Dybala.
Superb play from Dybala, he initially picks the ball up close to the right touchline, but cuts inside and skips past a handful of Udinese defenders, before perfectly playing the ball off to Higuain to finish.
GOOOAAALLL! Juventus lead 1-0! Higuain with the goal after 16 minutes to send the hosts into the lead.
