Udinese produced a valiant display to snatch a draw against Bologna at the Dacia Arena on Sunday, despite playing over half the match with 10 men. After Roberto Pereyra was sent off after 38 minutes, for a second bookable offense, the home side faced an uphill struggle, which was made all the more difficult when Musa Barrow scored for Bologna with just over 20 minutes to play. Luca Gotti’s side salvaged a late point however, thanks to Beto’s close-range finish on 83 minutes.
