Great disappointment, however, for the home team, which dominated the match for long stretches but was caught off guard in the end. The Friulians remain at 18 points in eleventh place.

Genoa took the lead in the 33rd minute with a penalty kick. Ruslan Malinovskyi converted from the spot after Lorenzo Colombo was brought down by Maduka Okoye.

Udinese's equalizer came in the 65th minute: a beautiful play by the Friulian team was finished with a great left-footed shot under the crossbar by Jakub Piotrowski.

After numerous chances to overturn the result, the home team was surprised by a goal in the 83rd minute by Brooke Norton-Cuffy. The English winger capitalized on Junior Messias's miss on Caleb Ekuban's assist and beat Okoye at the far post, scoring his first goal of the season.

For Genoa, as mentioned, this is the second consecutive victory. A positive streak that hasn't happened since January 2024.

It should also be noted that Jordan Zemura was forced to request a substitution after 15 minutes due to a muscle problem that prevented him from running smoothly. This injury needs to be monitored less than two weeks before the Africa Cup of Nations, which the Udinese winger is expected to play with Zimbabwe.

In his place came Rui Modesto, who is certain to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations with Angola, which has already announced its squad list.
