A good draw against the Furlans in Udine
The Serie A MD20 clash ends in a 0-0 deadlock
With neither team able to break the deadlock at the Bluenergy Stadium, points were shared in the 2024-2025 Serie A Enilive MD20 outing.
The match proved itself a hotly-contested yet stifled affair until the 30-minute mark, when Pašalić tested the waters with a bicycle-kick finish before Carnesecchi pulled off a world-class save in the 33rd to stave off Bijol's header from a corner-kick. Udinese came close again just before the break, with Sanchez smacking first the post and then the crossbar, while Carnesecchi was quick to thwart Lovric’s follow-up headed tap-in.
The second half was more of a stalemate, with both teams going for it without finding the winning spark. The last chance fell to the Nerazzurri in the 94th minute when Samardzic's curling shot was saved by Sava, who turned the ball out for a corner and the game ended 0-0 in Udine.
