Palermo Vs. Udinese: Alexis Sanchez Bags A Brace Within Ten Minutes, Udinese Up 3-0

What. A. Goal. After what was Palermo's best attempt in front of goal, with a scramble of attempts coming off a corner by Armin Bacinovic, Udinese took advantage and set up a brilliant counter attack. Antonio Di Natale and Alexis Sánchez played a one-two ball back at the halfway line before Sánchez broke away, speeding toward goal with no rose shirts able to come close to catching him. Salvatore Sirigu, the Palermo goalkeeper, could do nothing in the face of El Niño Maravilla -- except sit down. Sánchez merely ran around him to put the ball directly in the back of the net, while Palermo's nearest defender, Siniša Anđelković, could do nothing but watch from behind.

That’s three goals by the 27th minute. Will Udinese be able to maintain their average, and score four by the halftime whistle? With both Sirigu and Anđelković struggling to contain the Udinese offense, anything seems possible.
