Como were frustrated by a goalless draw away to Udinese, ending a run of five consecutive Serie A victories.

The Lariani had the opportunity to consolidate fourth place after Roma’s defeat to Inter, but Jesus Rodriguez, Jacobo Ramon and long-term absentee Jayden Addai missed the trip. Udinese had top scorer Keinan Davis suspended, plus Adam Buksa, Jordan Zemura and Alessandro Zanoli carrying injuries. Controversially, there was only one Italian in the starting 22 players.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Arthur Atta sprung the offside trap to sting the gloves of Jean Butez, while Diego Carlos made a decisive tackle to stop him going clear on the Nicolò Zaniolo through ball and Lucas Da Cunha tested Maduka Okoye at the near post.

Diego Carlos threw himself in the way of a ferocious Jesper Karlstrom strike from the edge of the area, while Okoye took the sting out of a Tasos Douvikas angled drive.

Weak Christian Kabasele and Douvikas attempts were easy smothers for the two goalkeepers, then Sergi Roberto couldn’t keep his header down from a promising position.

Udinese substitute Idrissa Gueye forced a tougher save out of Butez with a powerful finish at the near post, and Marc-Oliver Kempf made a decisive block to deflect the Zaniolo strike over the bar from 10 yards.

Mergim Vojvoda should’ve done better for Como at the 87th minute when running onto a long Butez ball, but he over-hit the lob and it sailed over the bar.

Alvaro Morata made an impact coming off the bench late on, getting two opponents booked, but unable to test Okoye.
