A solid debut, but:
LIVE: Alaba Makes His Debut for Udinese Against Torino!
David Alaba made his debut for Udinese Calcio but was unable to prevent his new club’s 1-2 loss to FC Torino. However, the Austrian international put in a promising performance after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In the 72nd minute, the moment finally arrived! Alaba was brought into the game by coach Kosta Runjaic to replace Mergim Vojvoda. At that point, Udinese was already trailing 1–2.
The ÖFB veteran immediately fit right into his new team’s play as they pushed for the equalizer in the closing stages. Alaba was repeatedly fed the ball, putting in a solid performance and consistently delivering intelligent passes.
However, not even the former Bayern and Real Madrid star could prevent the bitter defeat against Torino. Udinese thus continues to slide toward the bottom of the standings. Just four points after six matchdays are a testament to their disappointing start to the season.
Goalkeeper’s Blunder Decides the Match
Before the game, they were tied with Torino. Accordingly, both teams started cautiously. Daniel Branganca finally put the home team ahead (36'). But Jürgen Ekkelenkamp equalized the score before halftime (43').
While Alaba was already warming up, his teammates conceded the 1–2 goal. Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye played a key role in the goal with a blunder.
Five minutes later, Alaba took the field. Even with the Viennese player, Udinese was unable to turn the tide. Ekkelenkamp missed a late chance to equalize. After six rounds, Udinese now has four losses and just one win. The club currently sits in 15th place in the standings. A home game against Lecce is scheduled for next Sunday.
