Udinese edged Sampdoria in a tight contest in Sunday's lunchtime kick-off, as Kingsley Ehizibue scored with just minutes on the clock to give his team a 1-0 victory. At the end of a somewhat crappy clash, with chances at both ends of the pitch, the right-wing back pounced on a loose defensive header and finished expertly with the outside of his foot.
