Udinese continue to stutter in pre-season, although they held Schalke 04 to a creditable draw today.

The Friulani have had problems settling with many new players and are just weeks away from the Champions League preliminary round.

At least they ended the run of defeats by holding Schalke to a 0-0 draw in Klagenfurt this evening, especially as Luis Muriel and Antonio Di Natale were absent.

Instead, Odion Ighalo and new Brazilian Maicosuel were used in attack for a 3-5-1-1 system.

Jefferson Farfan had a shot charged down and another free kick parried, while Hildebrand denied a Maicosuel screamer.
