At one point in the current season, Udinese was already one foot in Serie B. But then came the 76th minute of the final match of the 2023/24 season and with it salvation. The Videmčani scored a crucial goal just 14 minutes before the end of the away match against Frosinone, a goal for survival. The goal was scored by Keian Davis, who had come on before the start of the second half, becoming the great hero for the black and whites. His goal was enough for a narrow victory, and the narrow victory was enough for survival. Jaka Bijol also contributed significantly, with the Slovenian international ensuring, together with his teammates, that the visitors’ net remained untouched.
Jaka Bijol played from the first to the last minute, and he was also the only Slovenian in the Udinese team. Young David Pejičić was not in the squad this time, and the same goes for Sandi Lovrić, who nevertheless traveled with the team to the match. Initially, there were hints that the latter could return before the end of the season, but it seems that this was an unrealistic expectation. What all this means for his appearance at the Euro 2024 will undoubtedly be interesting to see…
In the end, Udinese finished in 15th place in the Serie A standings, and it is interesting to note that with their victory, they relegated their current opponent to Serie B. Frosinone finished in 18th place, which is the last position leading to the second league, with Sassuolo and Salernitana also being relegated. As is well known, Inter won the championship, with AC Milan, Juventus, Atalanta, and Bologna also qualifying for the Champions League. Roma and Lazio (Europa League), and Fiorentina (Conference League) will play in Europe.
