Akor Adams was in action as Venezia ended a three-match losing streak with a 2-1 Serie A victory over fellow strugglers Udinese on Friday.<\/p>\n
Adams featured for 90 minutes in the encounter which was his 11th appearance in the Italian topflight for Venezia.<\/p>\n
Also in action was Maduka Okoye, who featured in his 11th league appearance for Udinese this campaign.<\/p>\n
The bottom-of-the-table clash in Gameweek 11 saw the hosts (previously on 3 points from 10 games, 20th) edge the visitors (5 points, 19th) in a match that came alive after a goalless first half.<\/p>\n
Toma Ba\u0161i\u0107 opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, Mat\u00edas Moreno\u2019s own goal leveled it four minutes later, and Kike P\u00e9rez struck a spectacular winner in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n
Both sides entered in dire form. Venezia, newly promoted and managed by survival specialist Davide Nicola (appointed mid-October after Giovanni Stroppa\u2019s departure), had taken just one win all season\u2014an upset over Napoli in Nicola\u2019s debut\u2014before losing their next three without scoring. <\/p>\n
They had lost nine of their first 10 league games, one of the worst starts in Serie A history, with only six goals scored and a high concession rate.<\/p>\n
Udinese were also in freefall: seven losses in their last eight matches (including a 5-2 home thrashing by Roma), leading to the sacking of Kosta Runjaic. <\/p>\n
Ex-Venezia coach Paolo Zanetti took charge for his first game, facing his former club. Udinese had scored just 11 goals while conceding 23 in 10 games.<\/p>\n
Despite the win Venezia, on six points, remain in the relegation zone while Udinese WBO have five points are bottom in the league table.<\/p>\n
