Camoranesi sinks Maccabi
The win for Ciro Ferrara's side ended any hopes their Israeli opponents had of qualifying for the knockout stages.
Second in the standings, the Bianconeri are just two points behind Bordeaux and four clear of Bayern Munich, with two games to go.
Elisha Levy's team is yet to collect a single point in the section and although they have effectively exited the competition, they will be playing for pride in their remaining fixtures.
In an action packed first half keeper Nir Davidovich put in an inspired performance, but he could not stop Mauro Camoranesi giving Juve the lead on the cusp of half-time.
Maccabi were riding their luck from the first whistle. Their sluggish start was exploited by a blur of grey and black movement, which infiltrated their wafer thin rearguard three times in the opening 10 minutes.
Reveling in the wide open pastures of midfield the Old Lady's Brazilian virtuoso Diego was conducting the orchestra with a swagger.
A patient build-up from back to front eventually found the midfielder inside the box and he shifted the ball past Jorge Teixeira before unleashing a firm right foot shot. Davidovich did well to defiantly turn the shot around the post.
Davidovich barely had time to catch his breath when he was called into action again. Felipe Melo lifted a clever ball over the static home defence for Amauri to latch onto.
By the time the striker had brought the pass under control Davidovich was sprawled at his feet and blocking his shot.
Moments later Diego was administering another test. A curling free-kick looked destined for Davidovich's bottom right hand corner until he got down low to turn it aside.
Christian Poulsen and Tiago were unsuccessful with long range efforts before the hosts almost made their Italian visitors pay for their prolificacy in front of goal.
As the game approached the half hour mark Giorgio Chiellini headed the ball into the path of Vladimir Dvalishvili, under pressure from Dekil Keinan, but the striker was denied by the huge frame of Gianluigi Buffon.
Spurred on by their chance the home side pushed forward with Dvalishvili at the heart of the action, but he was unable to punish the Juve defence.
This spell of pressure from Maccabi Haifa was short-lived as the Bianconeri reasserted their dominance.
Diego drove at the home side's defence and slipped a through ball to Amauri, who was again frustrated by the advancing Davidovich.
It was only a matter of time before Ferrara's side took the lead and the hosts finally succumbed to the pressure during injury time at the end of the first half.
Diego fed Martin Caceres galloping down the right wing and the masked defender swept a cross into the box for the timely arrival of Camoranesi, who thrashed the ball into the back of the net via a deflection off Keinan.
The second half was a shadow of the first with no notable attempts on goal. Sitting on the cushion of their one goal lead Juventus sat back and barely broke sweat as they repelled Maccabi's tame advances.
With the sands of time against him Levy rang a cycle of changes, but his side could not find the creative inspiration to break down the Bianconeri's watertight rearguard.
