Good evening and welcome to live coverage of Udinese v Roma from Serie A.

The home side really going about this with some verve. Udinese will be within three points of fourth-placed Napoli with a win here.

Di Natale tries to release Isla, but Riise comes across to make the clearance. Udinese on the attack early on.

Rosi dives under pressure from Armero. The Udinese midfielder is unhappy with those antics. Referee waves play on.

Decent shot at goal from Di Natale. Hammered down and into the ground, but bounces up for Doni to save. Solid enough stop from the Roma keeper.

Abdi picks out Armero at the back post as the home side attack, but his header is blocked by a visitng defender before Roma get the ball out.

Riise on the charge for Roma. Throws over a cross, but headed over by Vucinic in the Roma attack. Lot of work to be done to finish from there.

Denis is fouled by Burdisso. Free-kick to the home side. Roma will be within three points of fourth-placed Roma if they can win this match.

Rosi tries to play in Totti, but he has overhit the pass and that is goalkick to the home side. Roma starting to find their feet.

Armero alert to whack the ball away from Rosi's chipped ball. Roma trying to get on the front foot.

Have to ask yourself what Roma keeper Doni was doing there? Extremely poor from the Roma keeper. Here come the visiting side now.

Di Natale's cross is palmed out by Doni. Breaks to Benatia, but he has knocked his shot wide of the goal. Golden chance for the home side gone.

Isla gets the first shot at goal in the match, but he has cut that wide of the post. Decent effort. Always heading wide.

Udinese get us off and running in this one.
