Di Natale rescues Udinese against Anji
Published: Thursday 20 September 2012, 21.00CET
FC Anji Makhachkala opened their first ever UEFA group stage campaign with a 1-1 draw at Udinese Calcio.
Anji breezed through UEFA Europa League qualifying with 11 unanswered goals in three away assignments, but found Udinese a far tougher nut to crack. They looked to have prevailed courtesy of Daniele Padelli's own goal just before the break, but Antonio Di Natale ensured the spoils were shared with a typically predatory strike in added time.
