Quotes
"It was a tough game, I expected it to be like that. We played well in the first half, even if we came under pressure at the end of it," Udinese manager Andrea Sottil said after his side's draw against Cagliari.
"In the second half, we created chances – it's a pity we didn't score from Lorenzo Lucca's opportunity but we take home a point. It's a shame about the injuries to Christian Kabasele and Enzo Ebosse.
"With the changes, I would have liked to do something else. I thought Ebosse could have started, but he came on and heard a noise when going into a challenge. I don't think it's anything serious."
