Impact Ekkelenkamp set the tone early, teeing up Oumar Solet's 10th-minute opener after pouncing on a high turnover and slipping him in with precision. He logged serious work down the right midfield channel and was a key driver in Udinese's first-half momentum, consistently pushing them into dangerous pockets as they hunted a second goal. After the break, Sassuolo raised the tempo and played through the press, flipping the script, but Ekkelenkamp still made it three straight Serie A matches with at least one chance created, adding up to one goal and one assist over that stretch.

Won't face Cagliari Ekkelenkamp (illness) is out for Friday's match against Cagliari.
