🔙 Zanoli stunner as Udinese hit three, Verona collapse to bottom 📉
A jolt was needed, a big win to try to breathe and push away the specter of last place. Instead, at the Bentegodi comes yet another defeat for Hellas Verona , who fall at home against a ruthless Udinese .
The transfer market doesn't help and the emergency remains total: the Scaligeri slip again, while the Friulani celebrate a win that's worth double, catching up with Lazio in ninth place with 29 points.

The evening starts off perfectly for the Friulani: in the 23rd minute, Attabreaks the deadlock, finding the net for the first time since the end of August. Verona , however, reacts immediately: it takes just three minutes for Orbanto restore parity and get his team back in the game.
In the second half, though, the script changes. The yellow and blue wall crumbles when Zanoli invents a true wonder goal, a " Pavard -style" strike that lights up Udinese's evening. It's the blow that definitively breaks Verona's resistance. Shortly after, Davis, the standout performer, seals it with a thunderbolt that Perilli can't stop, closing the game.
It ends 3-1 for Udinese. Verona sinks to last place level on points with Pisa, with numbers that set off alarm bells: 18 goals scored and 37 conceded.
🔙 ATTA SCORES AGAIN: UDINESE TAKE THE LEAD

💪 VERONA RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY WITH ORBAN
The Friulani's leadlasts very little. Just three minuteslater, in the 26th minute, Veronaresponds with the usual Gift Orban . Sarr wins back the ball and delivers a perfect assist into the box: Orbancontrols and finishes with his left footwithout mistake.
