## Pulisic gives Milan an early edge in Udine

Developing at halftime: AC Milan leads Udinese 1-0 in Serie A Matchday 8 at Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 25. The final result is not yet known. Christian Pulisic struck in the sixth minute, and the Rossoneri carried that advantage into the break. The teams are still contesting the second half, so this update reflects only confirmed first-half events and the halftime score.

The breakthrough came from a quick restart. Luka Modrić clipped a pass over the Udinese back line, Pulisic timed his run to beat the offside attempt, controlled the ball with his first touch and finished past goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. The goal gave Milan an ideal start, and Pulisic’s record against Udinese drew attention from independent coverage: he had contributed to five goals in his previous five meetings with the club.

Udinese responded by working the ball toward goal rather than letting Milan’s opener settle the match. Hassane Kamara tested Mike Maignan from distance in the 10th minute, and the Milan goalkeeper pushed the shot away for a corner. Kingsley Vojvoda forced another save at 32 minutes, with Maignan handling the attempt in two stages. At the other end, Milan threatened in transition, but a promising move around the 40th minute ended with Pulisic and Davide Bartesaghi getting in each other’s way.

The confirmed starting shapes put Pulisic just behind Gonçalo Ramos in Milan’s 4-4-1-1, with Modrić and Ardon Jashari in central midfield. Udinese started in a 3-4-2-1, with Abankwah, Palma and Christian Kabasele across the back and Keinan Davis leading the line. That structure has left Milan able to look for Pulisic between the lines while Udinese tries to build from its wide players.

## Different momentum entering the second half

The scoreline reflects a matchup between teams arriving on contrasting league runs. Udinese came into the weekend after five straight Serie A defeats, while Milan remained unbeaten in the league and had just beaten Atalanta 3-2. The league’s preview also noted a long Friuli history between the sides: across 53 previous competitive meetings there, Milan had won 19, Udinese 15 and 19 had ended level. At halftime, though, only Pulisic’s finish separates them, and the match’s final outcome remains unknown.

## Matchday 8 at Bluenergy Stadium

The match also carried an off-field backdrop: Reuters reported before kickoff that Milan supported a planned away-fan boycott over Udinese’s €65 visiting-ticket price, arguing the cost placed an unfair burden on travelling supporters. The focus now returns to the pitch, where Udinese needs a second-half response and Milan will try to protect its narrow lead. No full-time score should be read into the halftime update; play is ongoing and the final result is still unknown.
