ZIMBABWE international defender, Jordan Zemura made his fourth Serie A appearance on yet another losing note on Wednesday night as champions Napoli demolished his Udinese 4-1.
Napoli had endured a three-match win-less run prior to Wednesday night’s victory.
As was the case of his previous three appearances, Zemura (23) was a second half substitute and replacing Hassane Kamara, 29, from Cote d’Ivoire.
Udinese have now lost three of the four matches in which Zemura has played a part – Juventus (0-3), Fiorentina (0-2) and Napoli (1-4).
In Wednesday’s game, Zemura was introduced in the 72nd minute when Napoli were leading 2-0 and it became 3-0 two minutes after the former Bournemouth left-back joined the fray — thus three of the night’s five goals were scored with Zemura in action.
Zemura was given a rating of 6.2 out of 10, the second lowest of the five substitutes but it was deemed better than 10 of Udinese’s 11 starters with 24-year-old Slovenian centre-back Jaka Bijol getting a team lowest mark of 2.5 out of 10.
After six Serie A games, Udinese are now in the relegation zone on goal difference with three points ahead of a home match against Genoa on Sunday.
