The Italian Serie A match between Udinese and Bologna ended in disappointment for both teams as Udinese suffered a 2-1 defeat to their rivals. The game was marred by controversy, with Udinese forward Mario Mandzukic receiving a red card after appearing to punch Bologna defender Antonio Candreva.
The incident occurred in the 74th minute of the match when Mandzukic appeared to throw his body at Candreva. However, it was not until the final whistle that the referee called the foul on the Croatian striker, resulting in him being sent off. The decision was controversial, with many fans and analysts pointing out that Mandzukic had been fouled earlier in the game.
Despite the loss, Udinese manager Marco Silva praised his players' performance despite the setback. "I'm proud of my team," he said. "We played well, we were brave and we showed our character."
However, the defeat has left Udinese fans feeling disappointed and frustrated. They have long been critical of the refereeing decisions made during matches, and this latest incident has only added to their frustration.
Overall, the match was a disappointing one for both teams, with Udinese suffering their first defeat of the season. The incident involving Mandzukic will be remembered as a turning point in the match, but it is unlikely to overshadow the overall outcome.
