With the help of Argentine Martín Payero who took advantage of Lorenzo Lucca, Udinese signed this Monday a crucial victory against Lecce (0-2) that allowed them to breathe and escape relegation with two days left in Serie A.
With Lecce saved, with nothing at stake, Fabbio Cannavaro’s Udinese had a golden opportunity to add to a difficult season in which they were without Spaniard Gerard Deulofeu, who suffered a knee injury.
He achieved it thanks to Lucca’s goal, a perfect header in the 36th minute from a lateral center from a Payero who established himself in the eleven, mainly in the last games except for the duel against Naples, which was lost due to the accumulation of yellow.
And also the Serbian last Lazar Samardzic, who in the 85th minute sealed the contest by taking advantage of a loose ball inside the area and unleashing joy on the visiting team’s bench, who will face the final two days depends on itself.
Udinese have two ‘finals’ left to end a forgettable campaign that has so far been unsalvageable. So far, they have broken a negative streak of 7 consecutive games without a win, dating back to March 11 against Lazio.
Ahead, Empoli and Frosinone, two teams located at the bottom of the table, only one point away, where they are fighting to escape from Serie B and who are obliged to win to prove their survival.
