Udinese and Cagliari played out a 1-1 draw at the Bluenergy Stadium in Sunday's Serie A match. The hosts, Udinese, will likely regret their missed chances, particularly in the final moments of the game, which could have earned them a full three points.

The visitors took an early lead in Udine when Mattia Felici and Matteo Prati's shots were blocked, only for Borrelli to capitalize on the rebound from 10 yards out, slotting the ball past Razvan Sava, who was already down.

Udinese leveled the score just before the hour mark when Nicolo Zaniolo's corner was headed back into play, and Christian Kabasele showcased his skill with an acrobatic flick that sent the ball past Elia Caprile, making it 1-1.

Udinese had a golden chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in stoppage time. A defensive lapse handed Keinan Davis the ball just outside the box, but the Englishman's shot was well saved by Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile. Vakoun Bayo had a chance to capitalize on the rebound with an empty net, but he was off balance and his shot flew wide.
