Within minutes, the Bianconeri had taken the lead, as Danilo met Kone's corner to head in his side's second.
At the start of the second half, Manolo Gabbiadini fired over the bar and Eder lashed a powerful volley wide as Sampdoria pushed for an equaliser.
The hosts did manage to draw level on the hour mark as Gabbiadini met Lorenzo De Silvestri's cross to power a header beyond Karnezis.
As the game entered the final 10 minutes, Udinese came close to regaining their lead, but Gejo headed Silvan Widmer's cross onto the post.
With a minute left to play, Thomas Heurtaux was sent off for Udinese after picking up a second yellow card, but Sampdoria were unable to make their numerical advantage count as the game finished on level terms.
