UDINE, Italy, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Serie A leaders Juventus came from behind to draw 1-1 at Udinese on Saturday and could
now lose top spot if Lazio win at Torino on Sunday. Udinese started brightly and took the lead in the 37th
minute when Roberto Sosa picked out Martin Jorgensen on the edge of the area and the Dane skipped past Juve defender Ciro Ferrara
before firing home.
Juventus had Croat defender Igor Tudor sent off for a second bookable offence in the 68th minute but drew level eight minutes
later. Udinese goalkeeper Luigi Turci failed to reach an Alessandro Del Piero corner and Ferrara headed into the unguarded goal.
It was Juventus' second consecutive draw after they were held at home to Cagliari last Sunday and leaves them two points
ahead of Lazio going into Sunday's games.
Cagliari's mini-revival continued with a 2-1 win at home to an out-of-sorts Perugia in Saturday's other Serie A fixture.
Nicola Amoruso gave Perugia the lead in the 32nd minute but Caglairi midfielder Daniel Berretta scored twice before the
break to secure the three points for the Sardinians.
