A convincing victory for coach Delneri's Udinese which reached 40 points with a 3-0 at Genoa. Protagonist of the game Rodrigo De Paul author of a goal and of the corner that triggered Rubinho's error, in the middle of Duvan Zapata's goal realizing the ninth goal of the season and his personal record of goals in a single championship.

Delneri chose Lucas Evangelista from the very first minute to replace the suspended Jankto, also recovering after the injury Thereau and Karnezis. Udinese grows minute by minute: Thereau tries the first conclusion from a stellar distance with Rubinho that does not shine for the quarter-hour by locking in two stages. The advantage comes 5 minutes later: Evangelist is helped by De Paul to the limit in from the right at the crossing that leaves no way out for the far post defender. Just before the half hour Badu also tries, whose shot is deflected to a corner ends. And from the corner comes the second goal: De Paul crosses, melee attempts to resolve Angella and the ball comes to Zapata and the Colombian player shoots. It's 2.0 with which closes the first half of the match.

No changes at the begnning of the second half and the trend of the match plays the decisive ring, by the flag again. The ubiquitous De Paul starts, the ball is touched only by the defense of Genoa and has reiterated by the goal from Rubinho with a clear mistake. At 52 minutes comes a hard clash between Samir and Morosini, the "bianconero" players has the worst and is forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher for a blunt trauma to his left knee. In 71 minutes comes the greatest opportunity for the "Grifone" on the feet of Palladino slipping away at all the defenders but fails to hit the target defended by Karnezis, who remains unbeaten for the fifth consecutive time, a streak that was not reached even in 2013. This Saturday in the   pre-easter turn Udinese will be on stage at the San Paolo in Naples in the evening shift of 20:45 Saturday, April 15.
