Udinese 1-3 Palermo
Palermo's long wait for a second Serie A away win of the season came to an end with a 3-1 triumph at Udinese on Sunday.Achraaf Lazaar put the visitors on their way in the 15th minute before Luca Rigoni doubled Palermo's lead six minutes later and Ivaylo Chochev made it 3-0 in the 66th minute.Udinese, who lost to bottom-side Parma in their previous game, did not take a shot on goal until nine minutes from time when Antonio Di Natale beat Palermo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino with a right-footed strike.The win at the Friuli stadium, Palermo's first on the road since November 2, halted a three-game losing streak for the Sicilian outfit and lifted them to 11th in the standings.Udinese, meanwhile, are without a win in their last five games - having mustered just one win in their last 10 home matches - and dropped to 14th as a result.The hosts could have taken a third-minute lead when Allan's cross found Di Natale in the 18-yard box but the Udinese captain struck the ball wide from a good position.Palermo went ahead 12 minutes later when Paulo Dybala spotted Lazaar just outside the area and his left-footed strike beat Udinese goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.The visitors required only six minutes to double their lead. Dybala, again acting as provider, set up Rigoni in the area and his left-footed shot towards the far post beat Karnezis.Palermo were unlucky not to extend their advantage one minute before the interval with Dybala's 12-yard shot crashing off the post with Karnezis already beaten.The Sicilians continued to press forward after the re-start and, in the 56th minute, Karnezis was called on to dive to his right to clear Franco Vazquez's 30-yard attempt.Udinese then had an opportunity to reduce the arrears but Giampiero Pinzi struck his close-range effort wide.Palermo made no mistake when they had their next chance as Chochev's close-range header from Andrea Rispoli's cross beat Karnezis.With 10 minutes remaining, Rispoli was unlucky not to make it 4-0 when his 25-yard shot hit the post.Udinese finally hit the back of the net when Allan set up Di Natale in the box and his right-footed shot towards the near post beat Sorrentino for a mere consolation.ends
