A spectacular volley from Danilo in the third minute of added time earned Udinese a last-gasp 1-0 win at home to Bologna in Serie A on Monday night.

Silvan Widmer's right-wing cross was slightly behind Danilo, but the Brazilian defender swivelled and met the ball perfectly to crash a right-footed volley in off the underside of the bar.

It was the one moment of true quality in a match short on chances and the victory took Udinese above their opponents and up to 14th place in Serie A.

Elsewhere, Chievo and Genoa played out a goalless draw.

Chievo should have gone in front in the first half, with Riccardo Meggiorini unlucky to see his shot from outside the area rattle the bar and Valter Birsa anything but after missing a penalty.

Meggiorini drew a foul from Ezequiel Munoz to win the spot-kick in the 36th minute, but Birsa sent his effort over the bar.

Nikola Ninkovic almost won it for Genoa in the 71st minute, but his attempt cannoned off a post.
