The 17th round fixture between Udinese and Lazio, held on Saturday at the Stadio Friuli, ended in a stalemate as neither team was able to gain the upper hand.
The match saw Udinese trailing for a significant portion until Matías Vecino opened the scoring for Lazio in the 34th minute of the second half. However, the home side rallied back, finding the equalizer through Keinan Davis just 15 minutes later.
A memorable moment came when Keinan Davis scored in the 50th minute of the second half. The forward made a spectacular move down the right flank, striking a powerful shot from the edge of the area that left Lazio’s goalkeeper Ivan Provedel with no chance as it found the back of the net near the right post.
Keinan Davis was undoubtedly the star of the match, netting one goal and taking two shots on target against Lazio.
Another standout player was Lazio’s goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel, who delivered a strong performance, making three crucial saves against Udinese’s attacks.
Udinese’s manager, Kosta Runjaic, implemented a 3-5-2 formation with Daniele Padelli in goal, supported by defenders Oumar Solet, Thomas Kristensen, and Christian Kabasele. The midfield was manned by Alessandro Zanoli, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jesper Karlström, Jakub Piotrowski, and Nicoló Bertola, while the attack featured Nicolò Zaniolo and Keinan Davis.
Lazio, directed by Maurizio Sarri, opted for a 4-3-3 setup, with Ivan Provedel safeguarding the net. The defense consisted of Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, and Luca Pellegrini; midfielders Matías Vecino, Danilo Cataldi, and Reda Belahyane controlled the center; and the forward line included Matteo Cancellieri, Tijjani Noslin, and Mattia Zaccagni.
Referee Andrea Colombo officiated the match.
