Troost-Ekong’s Udinese lose against Ghezzal’s Fiorentina

William Troost-Ekong and Rachid Ghezzal featured in Udinese’s 1-0 defeat against Fiorentina in Sunday’s Serie A game.

Nigeria international Troost-Ekong made his sixth appearance for the White and Blacks and played for the duration of the game.

The 26-year-old defender played a key role for his side as the first half ended without conceding, frustrating the attacks of Vincenzo Montella‘s men.

In the 72nd minute, however, Nikola Milenkovic broke the deadlock, heading home Erick Pulgar’s cross.

The effort from the Serbian made the difference in the encounter as Udinese left Stadio Artemio Franchi without a point.
