A surprise team at the start of this year in Serie A, Udinese confirmed their good intentions by beating Cagliari 2-0 at home. Kosta Runjaic’s troops took advantage of this to move to the top of the table. Here they are 4th after 9 days, just three points behind the leader, Naples.
The expulsion of Makoumbou after half an hour of play for two yellow cards made the task of the Frioul team easier. In numerical superiority, Udinese opened the scoring with Lucca (38th), followed by Davis during the last quarter of an hour (78th). With this defeat, the Sardinians are 15th.
