Milan in ten for an hour, two goals canceled to Udinese: rossoneri win

At the Giusepe Meazza Stadium, Milan beats Udinese 1-0 in the match valid for the eighth day of Serie A and overtakes the Friulans in the standings, momentarily flanking Inter in second place, two points behind Napoli in the lead.

The Rossoneri took the lead on 13’: counterattack by Okafor on the left, Zemura skipped and service in the center to Pulisicche who spreads for Chukwueze, first-time shot and ball into the net at the second post. On 20’ again Okafor from the left crosses to the center, Morata’s header too central.

On 29’ Milan in ten: Bijol fires very long for Lovric, who sprints forward, Reijnders knocks him down and Chiffi expels the Dutchman for a foul on a clear goal opportunity. On 32’ Zemura’s free kick out by a whisker with Maignan overrun.

At 44’ Ehizibue scores with a header but Chiffi, with the help of VAR, cancels for offside. In the third minute of stoppage time the usual Okafor for Chukwueze who this time gets his doubling shot rejected.

Resume. At 55’ another header by Ehizibue who on Zaraga’s cross puts it out. At 57’ Pavlovic enters duo in the area on Kabasele, Chifi, after three minutes of checking at VAR, does not give the Friulans the penalty. At 75’ Abraham eats up the double by missing the tap-in on a rebound by Okoye from a right-footed Pulisic.

On the fifth of the initially scheduled seven minutes of recovery Udinese equalized with Kabasele but the referee, after four minutes of VAR checking, cancelled for Ekkelenkamp’s offside. After twelve minutes of stoppage time the match finally ends with Milan winning.
