Udinese clinched a 2-0 victory over Cagliari in their Serie A clash on Friday, with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye achieving his second clean sheet in Italy’s top division this season.
This clean sheet at Udinese’s home ground underscores Okoye’s impressive form since joining the team, adding to his growing reputation in the Italian league.
Okoye, who has made eight appearances for Udinese this season, was instrumental in the win, helping his team bounce back from a narrow 1-0 loss to AC Milan in their previous fixture.
The match’s turning point came in the 30th minute, as Cagliari found themselves reduced to ten men after a red card, allowing Udinese to capitalize on their advantage.
Striker Lorenzo Lucca opened the scoring for Udinese just eight minutes after Cagliari’s dismissal, finding the net in the 38th minute with a clinical finish.
Keinan Davis extended Udinese’s lead in the second half, scoring in the 78th minute to seal the win.
With this victory, Udinese temporarily moved up to fourth place in Serie A with 16 points from their nine matches this season.
