In the wake of Lucca and Davis, Udinese overtakes Cagliari and enjoys a night in third place

Udinese gives themselves an evening in third place in the standings. Kosta Runjaic’s team beat Cagliari 2-0 in advance on Friday at 6.30pm and, thanks to these three points, they have reached Thiago Motta’s Juventus in the rankings who will be involved in the Italian derby against Inter on Sunday at 6pm. A deserved victory by the Friulians who were able to make a practically constant territorial superiority prevail and put their opponent in difficulty on several occasions. With this knockout, Davide Nicola’s team interrupts a positive streak of three consecutive useful results.

Lucca unlocks it
After a start without any sharp details, the episode that affected the race arrived at the half hour mark: Makoumbou, already booked, knocks down Pajero, gaining an early exit to the changing rooms and leaving his team with ten men. The hosts improve their tone and find the advantage with a winning header from Lucca following Kamara’s cross.

Davis closes it
In the second half Cagliari, despite their numerical inferiority, still tried to find a way to score but without precision. The second goal comes in the final quarter of an hour with Davis who, protagonist of a personal action, surpasses Luperto and kicks with power behind the former player Scuffet.
