The Bianconeri are still in the hunt for Europe's top competition as the season continues to wind down.

As the match started there were problems in midfield for coach Alberto Zaccheroni, as Felipe Melo and Mohamed Sissoko were suspended. Meanwhile, David Trezeguet and Zdenek Grygera continued to be sidelined.Bari boss Giampiero Ventura stayed with his usual 4-4-2 setup, but was without long-term absentee Andrea Ranocchia and striker Vitaly Kutuzov.The first chance fell to the visitors after ten minutes, as Vladimir Koman swooped in for a flying header, but Gianluigi Buffon got down well to parry the ball away.The hosts almost opened the scoring when Paolo De Ceglie's low cross into the area had the defence scrambling, but a crowded out Amauri just failed to get a touch and the ball bobbled out of play.Juventus were turning up the pressure as the midfield trio Diego, Claudio Marchisio, and Mauro Camoranesi controlled the first-half and the latter's cross found an unmarked Amauri, but he couldn't direct his header on target from 12 yards away.After half an hour, Diego and Marchisio linked up well before Jean-Francois Gillet saved the Brazilian's daisy-cutter from just outside the area.The last chance of the first-half was arguably it's best and it surprisingly fell to the Galletti. Sergio Almiron's through pass found the galloping Alvarez breakinginto the box, who touched it to Koman, but Buffon was there to deny the Hungarian once again.Despite long spells of possession, Juventus went into the half-time break on level terms.

Zaccheroni made a double change to start the second-half with Antonio Candreva and Vincenzo Iaquinta replacing Camoranesi and Amauri. His side nearly opened the scoring, but Giorgio Chiellini was robbed from close range by Gillet.Somehow Alessandro Del Piero failed to score from inside the six yard box on 48 minutes. Diego set up De Ceglie on the flank and his pinpoint cross found the captain, but his header slammed off the crossbar.Finally, the Bianconeri got the breakthrough from substitute. Diego burst forward on the counter and chipped through for the striker, who rounded Gillet and dispatched the ball into the net.Diego thought he was on the scoreboard after 65 minutes, but it was ruled out for offside. The former Werder Bremen star slalomed through the backline before laying off for Iaquinta, and the striker's shot deflected off the playmaker before going into the net.Juventus were not denied a second for much longer, as they hit quickly on the counter and Gillet took down Diego in the box.slotted the penalty home for a 2-0 lead.It was easy enough for the hosts to hold on to the lead from that point, butadded another for good measure by tapping in Candreva's assist with five minutes remaining.Therefore, Juventus kept their Champions League hopes alive with three games remaining, while Bari slumped to their fourth straight defeat in Serie A.Keep up to date with Serie A and Italy news with Goal.com's Italy page and join Goal.com USA's Facebook fan page
