THE MATCH
The desolation after the closing of the match by Maresca, the whistles of the Unipol Domus against a Cagliari deeper and deeper in the Serie A standings: this is the most powerful image of the evening advance of the eighteenth day, which sees Udinese dominate and win with full merit by 4-0 at the home of the team Mazzarri. The 0-0 lasts just 3 minutes, then the Sardinians make a mistake in the exit with Godin and Udogie serves Makengo, which controls and tip beats Cragno signing the Juventus advantage. The hosts try to react immediately, but Silvestri is phenomenal in rejecting Pavoletti’s right from close range. Shortly before the interval, the Friulians find the doubling: Dalbert chases Makengo and lands him, remedying the yellow card and causing the punishment masterfully transformed by Deulofeu, who signs the 2-0 at 45 ‘leaving Cragno motionless.

Mazzarri tries to upset the team in the second half by inserting Keita, Caceres and Lykogiannis instead of Nandez, Carboni and Dalbert. At 50 ‘, however, the guests find the trio with the sensational right of Molina, which from the edge of the area starts a razor that strikes Cragno: 3-0 and the game is over. The situation worsens further in the 66th minute when Marin, already warned, intervenes on Makengo and remedies the second yellow, leaving the rossoblù in ten. Udinese took advantage immediately and found the 4-0 three minutes later: still scoring Deulofeu, that with a fabulous right turn that ends at the intersection of the poles signs the poker. The bianconeri do not stop and touch the hand with Soppy, who took the place of Molina. It ends 4-0 and without recovery for a disconsolate Mazzarri, helpless in the face of the collapse of his Cagliari and the delirium of Udinese, which rises to 20 points and stretches right over the Sardinians and Genoa, at 10 in the relegation area.

REPORT CARDS
Godin 5 – He does not show all his experience, on the contrary: he makes a mistake in coming out on the occasion of the 0-1.

Marin 4,5 – He closes a bad evening in the median with two yellow cards that will also make him miss Juventus.

Pavoletti 6 – One of the few to fight and touch the goal: but Silvestri is careful.

Makengo 7.5 – Splits the game with the net in the 4 ‘, then dominates in midfield: it also causes the punishment of doubling and the red to Marin.

Molina 7 – Virtually closes the games with a powerful right in the corner that is worth three of a kind.

Deulofeu 8 – Amazing double: perfect free kick and right at the crossroads that stretch Cagliari. Uncontainable.
