Udinese secured a 2-0 away victory over Cagliari, but the match was overshadowed by allegations of racial abuse. Udinese midfielder Carlstrom stated after the game that teammate Davis had “heard racist insults” during the match.
Cagliari head coach Pisanelli said that the player involved, Dosena, told him he “did not make any racist remarks,” which led to his substitution. The two sides have given conflicting accounts, and the truth of the incident remains under investigation.
