The first half was evenly matched, with both teams creating opportunities, but it ended 1-0. In the second half, Runjaic’s squad intensified their efforts, effectively neutralizing the Tuscan side’s attacks and taking advantage of their chances. Ekkelenkamp netted two goals, starting the scoring in the 19th minute and adding another in the 65th. Thauvin capped off the match with a header in the 90th minute.

Looking ahead, Udinese will face Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare, while Empoli will take on Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta.

The match …

Udinese opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Jurgen Ekkelenkamp found the back of the net with a precise right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The setup came from Arthur Atta, who capitalized on a corner kick that was given away by Marco Silvestri. After the corner, Atta received the ball and aimed for the goal defended by Silvestri, but it was Ekkelenkamp who cleverly redirected it with the tip of his foot, outsmarting the Empoli goalkeeper and putting Udinese ahead!

Udinese is on fire! In the 65th minute, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp found the back of the net with a powerful right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. Ekkelenkamp is shining bright! Lucca takes a strong shot from inside the penalty area, but Silvestri makes a fantastic save. Ekkelenkamp is back at it and scores again!
