Udinese 0-2 Juventus: Ronaldo scores in Juve win
Cristiano Ronaldo scored on his return for Juventus as they earned a deserved 2-0 win in the Serie A clash with Udinese.
The Portuguese star served his Champions League suspension in midweek but returned to double his sides tally after Paulo Dybala’s opener.
Ronaldo had an earlier chance to score, squandering a glaring opportunity when he headed over the crossbar.
Dybala made his count though, leaping high to head home after 34 minutes following a great cross before Ronaldo’s goal moments later.
The 33-year-old collected a pass before striking the ball low into the bottom corner to double Juve’s advantage.
He came close to scoring again later on, but Simone Scuffet was equal to his strike before Juventus saw out the win.
