On Saturday, Udinese and Lazio faced off in an evenly matched encounter for round 17 at the Stadio Friuli. The game was filled with excitement and tension as both teams pushed for a crucial victory.
Lazio took the lead in the match when Matías Vecino scored at the 79th minute of the second half, sending their fans into celebration. However, Udinese responded valiantly, equalizing just a minute into stoppage time through a spectacular goal from Keinan Davis.
Keinan Davis’s equalizer was a standout moment, as he struck the ball powerfully from the right side of the box, leaving Lazio’s goalkeeper Ivan Provedel with no chance as it rocketed into the bottom corner.
The man of the match was undoubtedly Keinan Davis, who not only scored but also threatened the Lazio defense with his two shots on goal throughout the match.
On the opposing side, Ivan Provedel made significant contributions for Lazio, managing to save three shots and keeping the game competitive until the very end.
Udinese’s coach, Kosta Runjaic, opted for a 3-5-2 formation with Daniele Padelli in goal; Oumar Solet, Thomas Kristensen, and Christian Kabasele forming the backline; Alessandro Zanoli, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jesper Karlström, Jakub Piotrowski, and Nicoló Bertola in midfield; and Keinan Davis alongside Nicolò Zaniolo up front.
Meanwhile, Lazio, led by Maurizio Sarri, employed a 4-3-3 setup with Ivan Provedel as the last line of defense; Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, and Luca Pellegrini in defense; Matías Vecino, Danilo Cataldi, and Reda Belahyane in the midfield; and Matteo Cancellieri, Tijjani Noslin, and Mattia Zaccagni in attack.
The referee for this encounter was Andrea Colombo.
