Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 1st position with 56 points and a positive goal difference of +24
Udinese, 16th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -10
AC Milan lost focus failing to win the Serie A Week 27 game against Udinese on Friday 25 February 2022 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Milan with a somber performance, Udinese snatch a deserved point with a convincing recovery. AC Milan had the lead and then let it go. The draw is more a victory for Udinese while for Milan a total flop on their quest to increase the gap in the leadership.
This is a deja vu. The first leg of this championship between Milan and Udinese ended 1-1: these two teams have not drawn both seasonal matches in the competition since 2010/11 (4-4 first leg, 0-0 second leg). On the twenty-eighth day, Milan will play against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona while Udinese will face Sampdoria.
AC Milan opened the score in the 29th minute. Forward Rafael Leão defeated Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Sandro Tonali.

✅ Stats before the game. Milan have not lost any of the four Serie A matches against Udinese since the arrival of Stefano Pioli: the last coach to remain undefeated in his first five benches in the Rossoneri against the Friulians was Alberto Zaccheroni between 1998 and the 2000. AC Milan have lost only one of their last 14 Serie A home games against Udinese (1-0 in September 2016 by Stipe Perica) – completing eight wins and five draws for the Rossoneri. After the draw against Salernitana in the last round of the championship, Milan could run out of successes for two consecutive games against opponents who start the day in the last five positions in the standings for the first time since December 2020 (two draws, respectively against Parma and Genoa). AC Milan have not conceded a goal in their last two home league games (0-0 v Juventus and 1-0 v Sampdoria) – they haven’t made it to three in a row at home, keeping clean sheets in the competition since October 2020, the only chance under the guide by Stefano Pioli.
👉Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Romagnoli, Hernández; Tonali, Kessie; Messias, Díaz, Leão; Giroud.
👉Lineup UDINESE (3-5-2): Silvestri; Becão, Pablo Marí, Peréz; Molina, Walace, Makengo, Arslan, Zeegelaar; Deulofeu, Beto.
