Nicolo Zaniolo's second-half header earned Udinese a share of the spoils in Cremona – a second consecutive point for Kosta Runjaic's men after their 1-1 draw with Cagliari before the break.
The hosts took an early lead when Jari Vandeputte's free kick was headed in by Filippo Terracciano but they were pegged five minutes after the interval as Zaniolo rose well to nod home Alessandro Zanoli's excellent floated delivery.
The result takes Udinese to nine points after seven games, in 11th place. Next up is a home fixture against Lecce on Saturday afternoon.
