⚡️ Double assist by Atta, Udinese SHOW: 2-0 in 45'

The first half from Udinese was sheer dominance. After just 16 minutes, the Friulians took the lead with a great play between Atta and Karlstrom. The Frenchman on the left played a vertical ball to the midfielder, who skipped past his marker, let the ball run, and then beat Falcone by slotting the ball between the goalkeeper's legs.

Four minutes later, Nicolò Zaniolo showed his progress with a great shot from the edge of the box that crashed against the crossbar with the opposing keeper rooted to the spot.

The 2-0 came in the 37th minute, once again originating from a devastating run by Atta down the left. His cross into the box was met by Keinan Davis, who beat Falcone and brought his season tally to 3 goals.


📸 Great free kick by Berisha, but Okoye sleeps: 2-1

Lecce started the second half much better and were rewarded with the 2-1 goal in the 59th minute, which came from a set piece thanks to a free kick by Medon Berisha.

The Albanian midfielder scored his first Serie A goal with a free kick from medium range. The trajectory was beautiful, but overall quite central. Okoye was largely at fault, as he tried to punch the ball away but failed to keep it out.

The goalkeeper looked very confused and, in fact, just a few minutes later made another absurd mistake. He missed his punch on a Lecce corner, and only a miraculous clearance by Bertola prevented an own goal that would have made it 2-2.


💥 Buksa and N'Dri: drama in the 3-2 final

After a scare, Udinese secured their return to victory with a counterattack for 3-1 in the 89th minute, finished off by substitutes Bayo and Buksa. Assist from the first for the second, who gets his first Serie A goal.

In the final minute of stoppage time, however, came the second "joy" for N'Dri. Just like against Atalanta, a beautiful but useless curling shot from outside the box. Lecce lose again, but make the final scoreline less harsh thanks to the 2-3.
