Udinese conquer Huddersfield

Udinese fought back to beat Huddersfield Town 2-1 at the John Smith’s Stadium thanks to Kevin Lasagna and Ryder Matos.

Simone Scuffet was kept busy in goal early on, but could not prevent Tom Ince from opening the scoring after 13 minutes with an angled drive.

Silvan Widmer’s long-range strike was deflected into the path of Lasagna and Rodrigo De Paul’s free kick skimmed the woodwork.

Gigi Del Neri’s side visited the newly-promoted Premier League outfit in today’s pre-season friendly.

Silvan Widmer’s long-range strike was deflected into the path of Lasagna and Rodrigo De Paul’s free kick skimmed the woodwork.

It was a friendly in name only, as Stipe Perica and Philip Billing were booked for a shoving match.

Ex-Carpi striker Lasagna equalised with a deflected effort and Udinese really stepped up in the second half.

Following an acrobatic save on Emmanuel Badu’s header, Andrija Balic’s free kick came off the crossbar and the rebound met by Matos.
