TEAM NOTES
Coach: Serse Cosmi (1st year) Serie A
Record: 7-12-5
Rank: 12th, 26 points
Last Result: 2-1 loss vs. Reggina, February 8
Streak: Lost 2 Next Game: at Lazio, February 11 Coppa Italia Next Game: semi-final, first-leg at Inter, March 22 UEFA Cup Next Game: third round first-leg vs. Lens, February 15 Udinese lost 1-0 at the Delle Alpi stadium against Serie A leaders Juventus in controversial circumstances last weekend. Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari was sent off in the 37th minute for two yellow cards, Juve substitute Alex Del Piero then got the game's only goal in the 71st minute from an offside position, then referee Antonio Dattilo failed to award Udinese a penalty-kick when Italy international defender Fabio Cannavaro seemed to shove Portuguese midfielder Vidigal in the back. The referee and an assistant, Gabriele Contini, have since been suspended for their "errors". Udinese have now won just one of their last 11 Serie A games following a 2-1 defeat by Reggina last Wednesday evening. Italy international Vincenzo Iaquinta opened the scoring with his first goal since returning from a toe injury, but Nicola Amoruso scored a goal in each half to turn the game round in the visitors' favour. Muntari remains suspended for Saturday evening's game at the Stadio Olimpico against Lazio, while Roberto Sensini and Giampiero Pinzi are both still injured. Iaquinta scored the only goal of the game as Udinese won last season's corresponding fixture, Lazio's last home defeat.
