Match Review: Lazio 2 - 2 Udinese

It could be considered as a good result for Udinese, considering how strong Lazio this season. But Udinese has a chance to win, when a quick counter attack set Di Natale to a golden chance which is saved by Lazio goalkeeper.

This match also left several signs for Udinese this season. Lazio got a golden chance to kill the game by quick counter attack that set Lazio's striker to a one-on-one to Handanovic, but Handanovic briliantly saved it. When Udinese concentrating too much on attacking, it lefts big open space behind, as the team has only three on the back, and is very dangerous when the opponent does a quick counter attack like Lazio did.

But this match, as well as away win at Inter, also give us a good proof that Udinese could compete with other strong teams in Italy. Udinese's second goal is very briliantly created by good quick passing, perfect offside-trap-breaking, and divine understanding between the players. Almost no team could easily imitate the way Udinese plays, as it needs intelligence, creativity, technique, and team-work in the same time to produce such. In sense of that, Udinese has a chance to break to at least big three in Serie A this season.
