With respect to Udinese, they missed Lukasz Teodorczyk, Emmanuel Badu, Antonin Barak and Samir.

  • Seko Fofana hit a daisy-shaper inches wide, however when Gregoire Defrel snuck up behind Valon Behrami inside the container, he was stumbled for a punishment.

  • Udinese lost Behrami to damage before half-time, in spite of the fact that he didn’t appear to be content with the choice to roll out the improvement so near the break.
  • Omar Colley should’ve multiplied Samp’s lead in stoppages, however diverted a free header over from a corner.
  • Sampdoria got another punishment when Nicola Murru’s shot was run after by a thrashing Opoku arm. Quagliarella normally went up against the spot-kick obligations again and this time crushed it into the top of the net. It was his fourteenth objective in the last 11 Serie A matches.

  • Quagliarella was engaged with the development for the third, an exquisite one-contact routine with Saponara threading through for Karol Linetty to flame in at the close post.
  • Manolo Gabbiadini fell off the seat and scored with his first touch, as Saponara spread the play down the left for Quagliarella, who whipped in a cross that the ex-Southampton striker just needed to tap in.
