Udinese, 4th position with 13 points and a goal difference of “0”

Milan won the Serie A Week 8 on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan. AC Milan secured a hard-fought victory even after being reduced to 10 men from the 29th minute. Referee Daniele Chiffi issued a red card to Tijjani Reijnders. Despite the numerical disadvantage for more than an hour, Fonseca’s squad managed to clinch three crucial points in front of their supporters.

The decisive moment came from Chukwueze, who netted the only goal in the 13th minute of the first half. In the second half, Udinese struggled to pose any real threat to Maignan, while they nearly conceded a second goal, with Okoye making a stunning save against Pulisic and Abraham missing a close-range opportunity. Just like at the end of the first half, the Friulians found the net through Kabasele, but Ekkelenkamp’s toe poke was ruled offside, spoiling their efforts. The home fans erupted in celebration after a tense match, narrowly avoiding embarrassment in injury time.

AC Milan opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Samuel Chukwueze found the back of the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Christian Pulisic.


AC Milan was left with just 10 players since the 33rd minute after referee Daniele Chiffi issued a red card to Reijnders. During a throw-in from the back, Lovric managed to waste some time, and as Reijnders tried to tackle him just before the penalty area, Chiffi promptly brandished the red card against the Rossoneri player.

✅ Stats before the game

Udinese managed to secure a victory in their last away game against Milan, winning 1-0 on November 4, 2023. Interestingly, the Friulians have never achieved back-to-back away wins against the Rossoneri in Serie A history.

Milan is coming off a defeat against Fiorentina in their last league match and hasn’t experienced two consecutive losses in Serie A since early 2023, when they faced three defeats in a row against Lazio, Sassuolo, and Inter.

Milan has faced challenges this season, losing four out of their first nine official matches (3 wins, 2 draws). In the past 80 years, they’ve only experienced at least five losses in their first 10 games across all competitions on two occasions: in 2019/20 and 2012/13, both times with five defeats.

AC Milan has achieved victories in their last two home league matches without allowing any goals. The Rossoneri are on track to secure at least three straight home clean sheets in Serie A for the first time since March-May 2022, when they managed five in a row.

Udinese has secured six victories in their last ten league matches (with two draws and two losses), matching their total wins from the previous 46 Serie A games (six wins, 20 draws, and 20 losses).

In the past two seasons (starting from 2023/24), AC Milan has failed to convert five out of their 13 penalty attempts across all competitions, with only Fiorentina (six misses) performing worse among the top five European leagues during this timeframe. Both AC Milan and Udinese lead the league in headed goals, each netting four, tied with Atalanta and Inter.

Christian Pulisic has achieved a remarkable milestone in his career by scoring in four straight matches within the top five European leagues. In the history of the three-point-for-a-win era, only five players from AC Milan have managed to score in five consecutive Serie A games: Olivier Giroud, Zlatan Ibrahimovic (twice), Filippo Inzaghi, Andriy Shevchenko (twice), and George Weah.

When it comes to contributions through goals and assists, Florian Thauvin stands out, having earned six points for his team (three goals and one assist), tying with Marcus Thuram. Additionally, only Rafael Leão (16) has more successful dribbles than Thauvin (13) this Serie A season, with Reda Belahyane and Dodô also at 13.
