Alexis Sánchez has doubled Udinese's lead before the clock reached twenty minutes, with Palermo caught out in their ability to defend a set piece. A shot from Maurizio Domizzi was blocked for a corner kick for Udinese.The resulting ball met an absolute scramble in front of the Palermo goal. Keeper Salvatore Sirigu came out in an attempt to clear the ball, but could not keep hold of it, instead dumping it at the foot of one of his defenders. Unfortunately for the Palermo defense, Sánchez was lurking just behind. He swiped possession and sent in a sharp shot through to the back of the net.
So that's two from the visitors, coming at an average of every ten minutes. Could we really be lucky enough to see nine goals in this match? It seems that Palermo will have to find its footing and its defense at some point during this match, but it's going to take more than simple wishful thinking from the home side.
