Challenge for Juventus was to get the 3 points no matter what.  And boy, they did it and in what way!

What a moment for former Udinese star striker Vincenzo Iaquinta scoring the winning goal against his old team! 

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri decides to substitute forward David Trezeguet in the 74th minute for Vincenzo Iaquinta.

Imagine, in less than 2 minutes Iaquinta, the beloved ex Udinese star, delivers the winning goal! Veramente un colpo!!!! Iaquinta gets his first touch of the ball and in the 76th minute after a brilliant pass from midfielder Pavel Nedved finding the "predestined" Iaquinta blasting the net of Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic.

I told you it was going to be an emotional match for Iaquinta because he spent 7 seasons with UDINESE. Those years cannot be forgiven, it is like the first love that you always remember, especially if it brings you good memories.

I feel happy for Iaquinta and my respect for his attitude. Sure, he did not know whether to celebrate or not. Hey, I don't blame him.  Congrats Iaquinta and certainly you are appreciated in Juventus too!

At the end of the match,  Iaquinta declared in Juventus Channel:

  «I have to thank Pavel for the ball he gave me. By scoring with my first touch I didn't even have the time to think whether to celebrate or not. Udinese are an important part of my life, I spent seven years here and without that experience maybe I would've never joined Juve. What's my secret? I train all week feeling like I'm part of the first team and I always need to think this way,»said Iaquinta.

Udinese opened the score in the 6th minute with midfielder Andrea Dossena.

Juventus equalized the score with midfielder Mauro Camoranesi in the 61st minute. Here is Camoranessi celebrating his goal with defenders Nicola Legrottaglie and Giorgio Chiellini.

                             
Juventus coach Claudio Rainieri substituted Camoranessi in the 86th minute for Sissoko.

In the end, Juventus, led by the great Captain Alessandro Del Piero conquered the three points.  I must say that Del Piero was not fully recovered, yet, he took the JUVE FLAG up high motivating his teammates. Thanks DEL PIERO!  You are awesome!

                                  
It is a good day for Juventus because Saint Goalkeeper GIGI BUFFON, despite not being completely recovered, had a superb match saving many opportunities of goal. Well done Juve!  La Vecchia Signora is back!

Sadly, the Udinese duo Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella failed to deliver a victory.
