In a 2-1 loss to Torino, Udinese suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in Serie A on Monday, according to the SOURCE. Nigeria goalkeeper Maduka Okoye made a costly error, allowing substitute Sandro Kulenovic to score the winning goal in the 67th minute. Okoye's mistake occurred when he collided with teammate Nicolo Bertola while attempting to clear the ball, leaving Kulenovic with an open goal.
Udinese had fought back to level the match before Torino took the lead through Daniel Bragança in the 36th minute. Coach Kosta Runjaic attributed the defeat to a big mistake similar to one that contributed to Udinese's earlier loss to Cagliari. Runjaic accepted responsibility for the team's struggles, emphasizing the lack of communication and perception.
He also lamented his side's inability to create enough scoring opportunities, noting that Torino's opening goal came from a set piece. Despite the poor run of results, Udinese remained at four points after six league matches, having lost four consecutive games.
