Duvan Zapata scored a late winner as Udinese came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Bologna in their Serie A match this afternoon.
Following a slow start to the match Anthony Mounier gave Bologna the lead when he touched in Luca Rizzo's low cross from point-blank range.

Within minutes Marquinho almost brought the visitors level, but his low drive across the keeper went inches wide of the far post.
However, Udinese did manage to find the net just past the hour mark, as Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu slotted in from close range after Antonio Mirante had saved his initial attempt.
Franco Brienza soon had a chance to restore Bologna's lead, but after being picked out at the back post, he was denied by Orestis Karnezis.
It was Udinese who then threatened at the other end of the pitch as Zapata rose highest inside the box, before directing his header over the bar.
Zapata was proving to be a handful for the Bologna defence, and with five minutes of the match remaining he latched onto a loose ball inside the box to score from close range to give his side their first victory in the league since the opening day of the season.
