Early breakthrough for Udinese, late response from Lazio
Udinese struck first shortly after the break. The move began from the back when Vojvoda found Davis; Davis then set up Karlström, who converted to make it 1-0 for the hosts. Earlier in the game Udinese had a big chance when Kamara cut inside and was denied by goalkeeper Mandas, while Lazio had opportunities through Tavares and Zaccagni.
Lazio pushed to find an equaliser and eventually levelled the score when Zaccagni supplied the ball into the box for Frattesi, who made it 1-1. Frattesi’s goal continued a rich start to the season, his third in as many matches.
The visitors controlled the closing stages and came close when Zaccagni hit the post from distance. The winner arrived in the 88th minute: a well-worked move ended with an assist from Duki and a headed finish by Gudmundsson on his debut, making it 1-2 in Lazio’s favour.
Gennaro Gattuso’s side looked fitter as the match wore on and finished strongly, a performance that underlined their physical preparation. Udinese leave the game with four points from three matches, while Lazio travel on a perfect run in the early season.
