The 150th goal of Antonio Di Natale's Serie A career proved enough to earn Udinese a 1-0 win at lowly Pescara this afternoon.

Di Natale had not scored since mid-January but found the target from close range with an instinctive finish after eight minutes.

Luis Muriel showed a neat turn of the pace to create the chance and proved a thorn in Pescara's side all afternoon.

The home team controlled possession in the second half but were unable to create any clear-cut opportunities to score the equaliser.

Francesco Guidolin's side showed defensive strength in the closing stages to secure the three points that keep them in contention for Europa League qualification.
