Udinese edge past Lazio

Udinese have beaten Lazio 1-0 at Stadio Communale Friuli in Serie A this evening.

Antonio Di Natale's 19th-minute goal was enough to give the Zebrete the points to take them level with their opponents in Serie A.

Di Natale's winner came after a fairly tentative opening quarter of an hour, but the veteran forward put his side ahead when he curled a right-footed effort beyond Lazio keeper Federico Marchetti.

Marques Allan nearly doubled the lead just before the hour mark but his left-footed effort was well saved by Marchetti.

Hernanes and Stefano Mauri had half chances for the visitors, but they struggled to create anything clear-cut against the Udinese defence.
