Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye marked his return from a shoulder injury with a clean sheet as Udinese defeated Padova 1-0 in the Coppa Italia. Okoye had missed Udinese’s entire pre-season but was trusted to start at the Bluenergy Stadium. Keinan Davis scored the decisive goal in the 35th minute, while Okoye helped the hosts protect their narrow lead and advance. Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic praised the goalkeeper’s comeback but urged the team to remain focused ahead of their next match against Como.
