Milan Remain Unbeaten in Serie A This Season After Win at Udinese

Modric’s rapid free kick opened the scoring

Luka Modric spotted that Udinese were caught off guard by his fast free kick. Pulisic ran into the box, took the ball under control and drilled it into the bottom corner in the sixth minute.

Udinese tried long-range efforts in reply, yet Mike Maignan kept out every one that was on target. Milan’s defenders allowed few chances from close range and went in at half-time with a 1-0 lead.

The game took place on 25 October 2026. The first goal owed more to sharp thinking than to sustained pressure: Modric took the free kick before Udinese had regrouped, and Pulisic pounced on the open space straight away.

Hutchinson found the net in his first Serie A start

Milan made it 2-0 in the 65th minute. Ardon Jashari’s effort was stopped by Maduka Okoye, but Hutchinson kept running into the play and turned in a close-range finish beneath the crossbar.

It was Hutchinson’s first goal for Milan and it came in his first Serie A start. It paid off his choice to press on towards goal rather than halting when Jashari shot.

Milan went on to create further openings to add to their advantage, and Maignan stayed focused whenever Udinese came forward. The visitors were not in command throughout, but they were sharper in both penalty areas.

Loftus-Cheek faces another check in two weeks

Ruben Loftus-Cheek came off late in the match. On 26 October Milan confirmed an injury to the medial flexor in his left thigh and said he would have a further examination in two weeks.

The club has not given a return date for the midfielder.

Milan remain unbeaten in Serie A this season. The clean sheet in Udine was built on Maignan’s saves and disciplined defending, while the two goals came from a quick restart and a sharp reaction to a saved effort.
