With the 2-0 defeat, Sampdoria remained at the bottom with 17 points and can no longer reach Hellas Verona, in 17th place, which has 30. The club’s fall coincided with the access of rival Genoa to the first division, which guaranteed his return to the Italian elite this weekend.
Udinese, on the other hand, managed to jump to ninth place in the table with the triumph. The team reached 46 points and has no more chances of being relegated this year. The team will return to the field on Sunday, against Fiorentina, while Sampdoria will face Empoli next Monday.
