Serie A: Chukwueze Strikes As 10-Man AC Milan Beat Udinese

Samuel Chukwueze opened his 2024-2025 goalscoring account as AC Milan secured a 1-0 victory over Maduka Okoye’s Udinese in a Serie A clash at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday evening.

Despite an injury scare during Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, Chukwueze was fit and available for the match.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Thirteen minutes in, he broke the deadlock with a brilliant low curling strike into the far corner after being set up by Christian Pulisic.

AC Milan played the majority of the match with ten men following Tijjani Reijnders’ red card for a reckless challenge, but Udinese couldn’t capitalize.

Maduka Okoye kept his side in the game with a string of impressive saves, notably stopping Álvaro Morata’s header and denying both Pulisic and Tammy Abraham in a brilliant double save.

Late drama unfolded when Udinese thought they had equalized through Christian Kabasele’s header deep into stoppage time, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review, securing Milan’s hard-fought victory.
