12th minute:
Aris Bayindir has the first shot of the game! The U19 player, thrown into the starting eleven by Marco Rose, cuts in from the right-wing and finds a shot from the edge of the box. Silvestri in the Udinese goal is equal to his effort.

After a move involving lots of players, the ball reaches Zemura, who buries his effort from the left-hand side of the box. Udinese celebrations are cut short by the offside flag and the goal is ruled out.
