Covering the UEFA Cup from an Italian Perspective

                    Spartak 48% Ball Possession and  Udinese 52% Ball Possession

                Spartak Moscow 1 - 2 Udinese
                   17' Rodriguez                                       12' Fabio Quagliarella
                                                                           60' Fabio Quagliarella (pen)

                
Good decision by Udinese coach Pasquale Marino to give forward Antonio Di Natale resting time. Hello, Udinese will play against Inter and both are fighting for the leadership in the Serie A hoping for Lecce to beat Milan.  Marino opted for forward Fabio Quagiarella along Pepe and Sanchez.  Udinese winning their two matches in Group D.

Well, Quagliarella responded in grand style by delivering the two goals for Udinese! 

In the 12th minute, Quagliarella inspired with a right footed shot sends the ball to the lower left corner blasting Spartak goalkeeper Pletikosa!!!

Gee.. just five minutes later and Spartak equalizes the score with Rodriguez in the 17th minute. Rodriguez with a right footed shot blasts Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic when not reaching the ball in the upper left corner.

Second half starts and Udinese knows that they have to win this match.  In the 60th minute, Quagliarella again with a right footed shot sends the ball to the lower left corner from close range and bam!!!!  No chance for Spartak goalkeeper Pletikosa and Quagliarella celebrates the goal with his flying arms.

                      
Udinese forward Fabio Quagliarella scores a brace / doppietta against Spartak and time to fly!!!
Forza Quagliarella!!!

                            

Referee Jakobsson sends off Pasquale for double yellow cards in the 86th minute.
