An important win secured with character and solidity. The Rossoneri beat Udinese 1-0 at San Siro on matchday 8 of Serie A. Chukwueze’s goal opened the scoring in the 13th minute, Reijnders was sent off at the half-hour mark which changed the pace of proceedings and forced AC Milan to defend with a man down but the result remained the same.
