Udinese 2-0 defeat by Swansea in pre‑season friendly

Udinese played its second pre‑season test in Austria against Championship side Swansea City and suffered a 2‑0 loss. The visitors struck early, with Cullen scoring after five minutes, and added a second goal late in the first half. Udinese entered the match with a rotated squad and heavy‑legged players, deploying a 3‑4‑2‑1 formation. Coach Francesco Runjaic altered the line‑up at halftime, introducing players such as Vojvoda, Unai Gómez and Davis to inject more energy, but the team failed to create clear chances, managing only a single shot on target.

The defeat highlights Udyssey’s ongoing preparation challenges ahead of the upcoming season, with the coaching staff noting improvements in the second half but overall dissatisfaction with the defensive lapses that led to the two goals.
