Udinese•AttackerUdinese secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Roma at the Dacia Arena, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's second-half free-kick proving decisive in a match that escalated into a physical battle. The Friulani showed resilience after an early scare when Arthur Atta's long-range effort was brilliantly saved by Mile Svilar, but they capitalized on Roma's indiscipline when Gianluca Mancini's foul presented the perfect opportunity. Ekkelenkamp stepped up to curl a precise right-footed effort into the bottom right corner, giving Roma goalkeeper no chance. The match became increasingly fractious as Roma pushed for an equalizer, with nine yellow cards distributed across both sides, highlighting the desperation and intensity as the visitors struggled to break down Udinese's defensive organization.
