Ghana international Nicholas Opoku returned from a game suspension to play a key role as Udinese defeated Genoa 3-1 in the Serie A on Sunday.
The 21-year-old was sent off in his side's 7-1 thrashing by Atalanta and missed the 4-0 defeat to AS Roma but he was named in manager Igor Tudor's starting line-up against Genoa.
The former Berekum Chelsea defender played full throttle as the Zebras sealed all three points at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Genoa took the lead in the 22nd minute through Goran Pandev before Rodrigo De Paul equalised 10 minutes later.
Ken Sema put Udinese into the lead in the 87th minute before Kevin Lasagna completed the victory with a last minute strike.
The win lifted Udinese to 11th on the league table with 13 points after 11 matches played so far.
