A slap in the face for Catania suffering their 19th defeat and seeing their future in Serie B. Yep. Catania failing to defeat Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Udinese with a boost to the morale of the team with this victory thanks to the goal by Captain Antonio Di Natale. Catania winning only 4 games this season. Udinese winning 11th game this season seeing the light because most likely, now, can be considered saved.
Udinese opening the score with the leading man Captain Antonio Di Natale in the 68th minute. An assist by midfielder Roberto Pereyra to Di Natale for the headed shot from close range defeating Catania goalkeeper Mariano Andujar in the bottom left corner. It’s the 10th goal this season for Di Natale.
