Udinese restarted quickly, wasting no time. Pinzi picked up the ball in midfield and turned sharply. He spotted Muriel peeling off his marker and played a fast, driven pass toward him.
[Udinese pushing forward again! They know time is running out!]
Muriel controlled it on the half-turn, his acceleration taking him past Reijnen in a flash. The AZ Alkmaar defense was scrambling again.
Viergever backpedaled, and Johansson rushed to cover, but Muriel wasn't slowing down.
[This is danger! Muriel is charging straight at them!]
Di Natale made his move inside the 18 yard box, pointing where he wanted it. Muriel saw him.
With a quick drop of the shoulder, a feint to the right, and then a sudden cut inside—he lost his man completely.
[Oh, brilliant footwork! Muriel is through!]
He had space... He had time... He had options available... But he went for glory.
