The game between Udinese Roma started on Sunday 14th of April and ended after 72 minutes with a 1-1 score when AFCON winner Evan Ndicka collapsed on the field due to chest pains. He was conscious all the time, and eventually, he was given all clear by the medical staff in Udine (where he spent the night) and in Rome, but the game couldn’t be continued as the Daniele Del Rossi’s players were too upset. The Italian federation decided that the remaining 18 minutes were to be played tonight, and in the last minute of the injury time, Giallorossi scored a winning goal: Udinese – Roma 1-2. The win will help the club to create a points gap between sixth-placed Atalanta, who are now four points away, but with a game in hand.Cristante GOAL vs Udinese #Udinese #SerieA #ASRomapic.twitter.com/RJpN5ORDS4— ETIHAD SPORTS (@EtihadSportsHD) April 25, 2024 Between the first and the second part of this game (in which Ndicka participated), Roma hosted their rival for fourth place, Bologna, but lost 3-1 and with this win, they have come close to four points. Luckily for Roma, Italian clubs have earned fifth place in next year’s Champions League and all they need to do until the end is to maintain that fifth spot. It was very hard for De Rossi’s men tonight to score an early goal, knowing that the game would last only 18 minutes, but they managed eventually. Before the winning goal, the hosts had a great chance, but Lucca’s shot was saved by Svilar. The guests also had their chance through Azmoun, but Udinese’s keeper saved his goal. But in the last seconds of the game, he was powerless when Cristante headed the ball to the opposite angle after the corner.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 32Udinese – Roma 1-2 (1-1)/Pereyra 23 – Lukaku 64, Cristante 94/
