Due in great part to Lorenzo Montipò's saves, who pushed a late screamer against the crossbar, Verona managed to hold on to 10 men for a draw against Udinese. In this local derby, Hellas pulled out of the drop zone with two victories in their last three games, although Abdou Harroui's season was terminated due to knee ligament surgery. After a 2-2 draw with Torino and a victory away to Fiorentina, the Friulani comfortably maintained their mid-table position. While Martin Payero recovered and new recruit Oumar Solet was immediately pushed into the starting lineup, Maduka Okoye, Keinan Davis, Oier Zarraga, and Lautaro Giannetti were remained out.
In the first few minutes, a long-range curler from Suat Serdar stung the gloves of the Udinese custodian, then Solet diverted another curler just wide. At 37 minutes, Kingsley Ehizibue would have been awarded a penalty for handball, but Domagoj Bradaric was signalled offside first, therefore it didn't matter.
