Udinese continues to walk on thin ice in Serie A, but the team from Udine brought home all three points from their visit to the Italian capital against Lazio. More than the mentioned victory, the return of Jaka Bijol thrilled Slovenian football enthusiasts. He stepped onto the field for the first time since November 26th in the 77th minute. Ironically, both matches were played at the Olimpico Stadium. Sandi Lovrić played the entire match.
In the first half, there were no goals in sight, but fans witnessed the entire outcome at the beginning of the second half, practically within a four-minute span.
First, in the 47th minute, Lorenzo Lucca stuck his leg out and redirected the ball into the net of Ivan Provedel. Two minutes later, after an unfortunate block by Lautaro Giannetti, the score was leveled. However, in the 51st minute, Oier Zarraga restored the lead for the guests with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area, which proved to be enough for the victory.
Bijol’s return is certainly encouraging news, as one of the key players in the Slovenian national team has just under 100 days to find the right form for the upcoming Euro.
