Milan. AC Milan made changes to 10 men and still beat Udinese 1-0 in Serie A on Saturday.
With this result, Milan overtook Udinese for third place in the standings.
Théo Hernández was suspended and Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Rafael Leão were left out for Milan who then struggled when midfielder Tijjani Reijnders received a red card in the 29th minute.
Fortunately, Samuel Chukwueze had given the team the lead in the 13th minute with another assist from American Christian Pulisic. Milan held on after having two Udinese goals disallowed for offside, including one in added time.
Milan had lost 2-1 to Fiorentina before the international break in a match in which Hernandez and Abraham missed penalties. Hernandez was sent off after the final whistle for insulting the referee and was suspended for two games.
The radical change in the Rossoneri line-up was brilliant for Udinese and they went ahead when Noah Okafor advanced down the left wing and passed the ball to Pulisic, who assisted Chukwueze.
Pulisic has been involved in at least one goal in seven straight league games, including his five goals and three assists.
Milan dominated until Reijnders was sent off for stepping on Sandi Lovric’s ankle and knocking him down on his way to goal.
Kingsley Ehizibue thought he had tied the game before halftime, but it was ruled out for a close offside call.
Udinese again seemed to equalize when Christian Kabasele headed in a rebound in the fifth minute of added time, but the VAR determined another closed offside in the previous play.
An additional double by Andrea Pinamonti helped Genoa recover from a two-score deficit to tie 2-2.
Bologna, who will face Aston Villa in midweek in the Champions League, seemed headed for what would be only their second victory with goals from Riccardo Orsolini and Jens Odgaard, but Pinamonti fired in the 72nd and scored with a free kick 12 minutes later. .
How they drew 1-1 with Parma in a match between teams that were recently promoted.
Juventus clings to fortune against Lazio
With fortune on their side, Juventus caught up with the leader Naples by achieving the ‘in extremis’ victory (1-0) against Lazio, reduced to ten very soon, with an own goal by the Spanish Mario Gila in the 85th minute , this Saturday on the eighth day of Serie A.
After eight games, Juventus, led by the Italian-Brazilian Thiago Motta, is undefeated and has only conceded one goal in the championship, although it remains unimpressive.
Against Lazio, Juventus had their luck, first with the expulsion of Alessio Romagnoli for having thrown at Pierre Kalulu before entering the area in the 23rd minute and in the final stretch with the deflection that became a goal for Gila after a center from Colombian Juan Cabal.
Until this fortunate goal, Juventus had dominated, but only looked dangerous on two occasions, when Serbian Dusan Vlahovic hit the crossbar (57th) and two minutes later, with Douglas Luiz close to squaring a header.
With 16 points, Juventus is equal in the table with Naples, which plays on Sunday against Empoli (10th).
The Turin team is two points ahead of the current champion, Inter (3rd), who visits Roma (9th with 10) on Sunday at the Olympic Stadium.
