Okoye’s 10th Clean Sheet Seals Udinese’s Serie A Status

Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye was instrumental as Udinese secured top-flight safety with a 2-0 victory over Torino, confirming their Serie A place with four matches to spare. He matched his personal best this season by keeping his 10th shutout. The game featured early chances at both ends. Okoye denied Giovanni Simeone at close range, and Udinese had a goal ruled out for offside after Nicolò Zaniolo diverted in a rebound. But it was Kingsley Ehizibue who broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time following a defensive error on a throw-in. Udinese extended their lead in the second half when Thomas Kristensen headed home from a Lennon Miller corner. Torino were unable to respond, leaving Udinese to celebrate a disciplined performance at home.
