In the resumption of a postponed Serie A match on Thursday that included playing only the last 18 minutes, Roma defeated Udinese 2-1 thanks to a goal in stoppage time from Bryan Cristante. The victory made Roma's second trip to Udinese this month worthwhile.
On April 14, with the score tied at 1, the game was halted due to the collapse of Roma defender Evan Ndicka. Ndicka, who had a collapsed left lung, was allowed to leave the hospital the next day and is now able to resume training. Before Romelu Lukaku tied the score for the Giallorossi, Roberto Pereyra had scored for Udinese. On Roma's last chance of the match on Thursday, Cristante headed in a corner kick from Paulo Dybala. Fifth-place Roma, which still has a game in hand, closed the gap to fourth-place Bologna by four points and went ahead of sixth-place Atalanta by four points.
