Udinese defender Nicholas Opoku elated with "sweet victory" over Cagliari in serie A

Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku has expressed delight in Udinese's 2-0 win over Cagliari in the serie A on Saturday as he finished off the year in style with another impressive display.

Opoku, who impressed manager Davide Nicola in the Zebras 0-0 draw at SPAL was given the nod to start again and he produced another strong performance as Udinese ended a run of five games without victory over Cagliari.

Ignacio Pusseto opened the scoring for Udinese in the 39th minute before Valon Behrami sealed victory with a 58th minute strike.

“+3 Points , Great Performance and a Sweet Victory Before 2019. To The @Udinese_1896 Fans, Thanks For The Unflinching Support. Glory Be To God,” the excited Ghana defender posted on Twitter after the game.

The former Club Africain defender partnered Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong in the heart of defence as the pair ensured they kept a clean sheet.

The win moves Udinese to 13th on the table and five points clear of relegation.
