Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu’s hopes of trophy success in the Coppa Italia ended on Saturday as his Udinese side was eliminated from the competition.
The Black Stars third-in-command lasted the entire duration of the game at the Dacia Arena in Udine.
Badu won a penalty for his side, but the spot kick was wasted by the Serie A side.
Spezia showed quality and won the game 3-2 to secure their progress to the next stage of the competition.
Badu and his Udinese side must now turn their focus on the Serie A which will begin later this month.
