Udinese 0-2 AC Milan: Pulisic Stars as Rossoneri Extend Unbeaten Run

AC Milan continued their impressive start to the 2026/27 Serie A season with a convincing 2-0 victory over Udinese at Stadio Friuli. Christian Pulisic’s early opener and Omari Hutchinson’s second-half strike secured three valuable points, extending Milan’s unbeaten league run to eight matches for the first time since 2021.

Pulisic Gives AC Milan a Dream Start

Milan wasted little time establishing their authority, breaking the deadlock after just six minutes.

Veteran midfielder Luka Modric delivered a perfectly timed free-kick over Udinese’s defensive line, allowing Christian Pulisic to beat the offside trap and calmly finish into the bottom corner.

The early goal handed Ruben Amorim’s side a crucial advantage, but Udinese refused to surrender.

Hassane Kamara tested goalkeeper Mike Maignan with a powerful long-range effort, while Mergim Vojvoda and Jesper Karlstrom also threatened from distance.

Despite promising attacking spells, Udinese struggled to turn possession into clear-cut chances, leaving Milan ahead 1-0 at halftime.

Hutchinson Doubles Milan’s Lead After the Break

Udinese returned from the interval determined to restore parity, with Vojvoda firing another effort wide from outside the penalty area.

However, Milan gradually regained control.

Pulisic nearly doubled his tally, but goalkeeper Maduka Okoye denied him at the near post.

The Rossoneri eventually found their second goal midway through the second half when Ardon Jashari’s low shot forced Okoye into a save. The goalkeeper could only push the ball into the six-yard area, where Omari Hutchinson reacted quickest to convert the rebound.

The goal effectively ended Udinese’s comeback hopes.

Maignan Shines as Milan Secure a Clean Sheet

Although Milan established a comfortable advantage, Udinese continued searching for a breakthrough.

Keinan Davis tested Maignan, while Serie A debutant Giulio Vinciati narrowly missed the target after an encouraging forward run.

At the opposite end, Okoye produced an outstanding reflex save to deny Goncalo Ramos from close range, tipping his effort onto the crossbar.

Milan’s defensive organization ultimately proved decisive as they protected their two-goal lead until the final whistle.
