Cagliari Calcio have edged further away from the relegation zone in the Serie A table with a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Udinese.

The hosts opened the scoring on 18 minutes when Segundo Ibarbo controlled Davide Astori's long ball into the penalty area and volleyed into the bottom corner.

They doubled their advantage with nine minutes left on the clock, as Matias Vecino got in front of his marker to flick Agim Ibraimi's free kick into the net.

Ibraimi then got on the scoresheet himself in the final minutes when he powered home from close range.
