Following the 7th day of Serie A, Udinese, author of a great start to the season, welcomed the Lecce club to Friuli, on the pitch of the Stadio Friuli. A rather balanced match which took time to settle down. None of the teams managed to be really effective and realistic in front of the opposing goal, even if the Salentini were slightly more focused on their attempts. We had to wait until the last quarter of an hour to see Zimbabwean international Jordan Zemura open the scoring (75th) for the locals. Enough to pocket a new victory (1-0) without captain Florian Thauvin, absent for this meeting.
In the ranking, Udinese temporarily climbs to 2nd place, confirming the very good start to the season, while Lecce still remains in great danger in the red zone with this worrying 18th position. Next weekend, the Friouli will travel to Lombardy to challenge AC Milan, while the Salentini will play at home against Fiorentina, during the 8th day of the Italian championship.
