Serie A: No Success for Udinese at Spezia as Super Eagles forward shines in Calcio derby

Super Eagles forward Isaac Success was in action for the 13th time this season in the Serie A for Udinese Calcio.

Success featured for 85 minutes as Udinese held their host Spezia Calcio to a 1-1 draw in the Serie A on Tuesday evening.

The Super Eagles striker was one of few Udinese players who stood out as they came from behind to salvage a point on the road.

The 26-year-old put in a decent showing, assisted the decisive equaliser and also scored a goal but was denied by the VAR.

He created one chance and was the most fouled player on the pitch.  However, his performance was not enough to give Udinese a first win in six matches.

After an excellent run of six consecutive wins that saw them beat the likes of Inter Milan and AS Roma, things have turned sour for Udinese.

The Black and Whites have falled down the table after going six matches without a win. Udinese have drawn four and lost two of the last six games in all competitions. 

Their latest setback came at Spezia where the Eagles had to come from behind to earn a share of the spoils.

Spezia took the lead in the 33rd minute when Arkadiusz Reca finished off a superb pass from Ethan Ampadu.

Udinese bounced back to draw level before the break with Success setting up Sandri Lovric two minutes before the break.

The second half was a rather cagey affair, with no further goals from both sides who settled for a share of the spoils that did neither any favours.

Udinese missed out on moving into European positions with the result while Spezia remain in relegation waters.
