Second half, Udinese with a great chance, Alexis Sanchez turns his marker and crosses...but Antonio Di Natale scuffs a good chance high over the bar.

Ten minutes from time, Udinese strike. Sanchez made the most of a long ball, controlling well and firing low through the legs of goalkeeper Julio Sergio. 1-0.

Udinese would continue to press for the equalizer and would get a boost as Roma's Marco Cassetti fouls Sanchez and walks straight off the pitch before being shown the red card by the referee.

He was sent off for a second booking on 84 minutes.
