Okoye Reflects on Udinese's 5-3 Loss to Inter Milan

Maduka Okoye, the goalkeeper for Udinese, reacted to his team's 5-3 defeat against Inter Milan in Serie A at the San Siro, admitting that Inter was too strong on the night. Udinese initially took a 2-0 lead with goals from James Abankwah and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp within the first 16 minutes.

However, Inter responded with a comeback, starting with Carlos Augusto's long-range strike, followed by Nicolò Barella's equalizer before halftime. In the second half, Marcus Thuram scored to put Inter ahead, and Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny added further goals, with Udinese managing to score a late consolation goal.

Inter dominated possession with 66% and had 27 shots compared to Udinese's six. The defeat leaves Udinese with four points in the Serie A table, and they will next face Cagliari at the Bluenergy Stadium.

Okoye's performances are also being monitored ahead of Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
