Zebrette make it through to Europa League play-offs.
Udinese secured their place in the Europa League play-offs on Thursday night, after sealing a 4-0 win over Siroki Brijef, going through 7-1 on aggregate.
Coach Francesco Guidolin named his strongest line-up possible to ensure progression, with Antonio Di Natale, Dusan Basta and Matej Vydra all getting on the score-sheet.
However, the goal of the night came from the left boot of midfielder Andrea Lazzari, who found the net from the half-way line to make it 2-0 after 82 minutes.
The Italian midfielder has spent the last few seasons on loan at other Serie A clubs including Fiorentina, but with goals like this he will soon be pushing for regular football at the Stadio Friuli.
Despite speculation linking some of their best players with exits ahead of the new season, Guidolin will hope to keep the nucleus of his side together.
Having proven the odds wrong over the past few years with their impressive top-half finishes, they will look to repeat their achievements while also making an impression in Europe.
