ROME - Udinese moved into third place in the Serie A with a 1-0 win at Lazio on Thursday.
Forward Cyril Thereau scored in the 26th minute for the visitors, slotting in from the centre of the area between two defenders at the Stadio Olimpico.
The victory placed Udinese within three points of Italian leaders Juventus and Roma, who won their fourth consecutive matches on Wednesday.
Lazio is 15th.
Still seeking his first goal of the season, veteran Miroslav Klose was a constant threat for Lazio but couldn't find the target.
Also, a free kick from Lazio midfielder Antonio Candreva went wide in the 73rd.
Udinese began with its top scorer Antonio Di Natale on the bench although he went on in the 65th when Thereau exited with a muscle problem.
Former Inter Milan manager Andrea Stramaccioni is in his first season with Udinese and has so far guided the club to three wins and one loss.
Udinese is owned by the Pozzo family, which also controls Watford in England and Granada in Spain. The club's best finishes in the Serie A were second in 1955 and third in 1998 and 2012.
