Udinese suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Bologna in Saturday’s Serie A clash, with Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye failing to keep a clean sheet.
Okoye, making his fifth league appearance this season, has now kept only one clean sheet for Udinese, highlighting his struggles in goal.
The visitors took control of the game, with Tommaso Pobega scoring a brace in the 54th and 60th minutes, silencing the home crowd.
The game was all but sealed in the 94th minute when Federico Bernardeschi netted the third goal, capping off a frustrating night for Udinese.
The loss leaves Udinese 10th in the table with 15 points, while Bologna climbs to third with 24 points, thanks to Vincenzo Italiano’s inspired team performance.
Pobega’s two-goal haul was crucial, and his side’s dominance was evident despite Udinese’s early resilience.
Okoye, who saved a Riccardo Orsolini penalty in the first half, was at fault for Bologna’s second goal, gifting possession away with a poor pass.
This defeat adds to concerns about Okoye’s form, despite his strong performances in previous games.
