Iker Bravo gave Udinese a hard-fought victory over Pisa on the road, extending their incredible start to the season. The Friulani were still undefeated this season after their unexpected victory over Inter away from home before the international break. Sandi Lovric and Daniele Padelli were sidelined, and deadline-day additions Nicolò Zaniolo and Alessandro Zanoli were benched as Maduka Okoye maintained his ban for betting violations. Raul Albiol was included in the squad for the first time, but Pisa held Atalanta in the first game and fell to Roma by a slim margin of 1-0.
There was an astonishing double error in the opening 90 seconds, as Udinese goalkeeper Zanos Savva hit a fresh-air clearance inside his own penalty area, then Henrik Meister failed to make the most of that gift, hitting the side-netting of an empty net.
