The first half of Udinese-Cagliari ends 1-0: a very complicated forty-five minutes for Davide Nicola's team, one man down due to the naive expulsion of Makoumbou and one goal down.

Three changes for Nicola: Azzi on the right, Marin in midfield, Gaetano attacking midfielder. The rossoblù switch to 3-5-1-1.

The start was marked by the Friuli, in the 5th minute a free kick by Lovric was blocked by the wall and Payero came on and kicked high with his left foot. But the first quarter of an hour did not see any particular goal-scoring opportunities, even if the game was only played in the rossoblù half of the pitch with endless periods of possession by the bianconeri. To see a shot on target we had to wait until the 23rd minute, a low right-footed shot by Lovric and saved by Scuffet on the ground.

At half an hour, a huge naivety by Makoumbou, who already cautioned in the 5th minute gets sent off for a double yellow for an avoidable foul on Payero in midfield on a counterattack. Nicola tries to sort things out and puts Deiola in place of Gaetano (37'), but a few seconds and Udinese scores: long cross by Kamara and great header by Lucca for 1-0 .

We go to half time after one minute of recovery time.
