Filip Stankovic - Recovers from tough first halfStankovic gave up two goals in the first half but blanked the opposition in the second frame of Venezia's 3-2 comeback win over Udinese. He finished with three saves.

ImpactAfter making no saves against Monza, it looked like Stankovic was headed for another disaster after 45 minutes. However, he got a bit of relief with Udinese being a down a man for the second half and managed to make enough saves to ultimately get three points for his side. He's in for yet another challenge Sunday against a high-scoring Inter Milan side.
