## Summary

Benetton beat Edinburgh 31-12 in Italy, ending the visitors’ unbeaten start to the United Rugby Championship season. The result was a turnaround for Benetton, who had not won before the match, while Edinburgh’s four-match winning run came to an end.

Benetton led 18-0 at half-time after tries from Piero Gritti, Ignacio Mendy and Bautista Bernasconi, with Jacob Umaga adding a penalty. Despite Matias Medrano receiving a 20-minute red card and later playing with 14 men after Callum Hunter-Hill’s yellow card, Edinburgh could not close the gap; Onisi Ratave scored after the break, and Harri Morris and Harry Paterson replied for Edinburgh before a late penalty settled the score.
