AC Milan vs. Udinese – The best match in the Serie A ends in a draw (Part 3)
Milan were definitely not done and after a great strike coming from Robinho during the 71st minute, the ball got to Thiago Silva’s feet. The Brazilian crossed it in towards http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 who was inside the 18-yard
box. However, before reaching the Swedish striker, the ball took a deflection from the Udinese player Mehdi Benatia and looped enough to get past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Handanovic-c32356. The score then became 2-3, still in favour of the visitors but gave the home team a lifeline
yet again.
The hosts completed the comeback during the 81st minute. After http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302 was introduced in the 70th minute, the Milan strikers combined well up front to create more chances on goal. It was the newly
signed player Cassano, who spotted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 in the right position and gave him a through pass. The Brazilian easily slotted the ball into the net to make it 3-3 for his side. Milan looked to be happy with a draw after their 2-goal comeback.
Even though it looked to be over after Pato’s 81st minute strike, the visitors were simply not done. German Gustavo Denis had to prove a lot to his coach as he came on the pitch for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Almen-Abdi-c5240 during the 72nd minute
of the game. The Udinese player found the ball at his feet after an inch-perfect cross from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-c10837 made no mistake and slotted the ball into the net to make the score line 3-4 in Udinese’s
favour just before the 90th minute.
There was definitely more drama to the game. What better opportunity would any player have than a stoppage time equalizer? It was the AC Milan hero of this season; Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored during the 93rd minute
to make the score line 4-4 and earn his side a point that they were looking for. The ball got onto Antonio Cassano’s feet as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 spotted him outside the 18-yard box. The former Real Madrid star gave a fabulous ball to the Milan number 11. Ibracadabra
made sure that he does not make a mistake and after a wonderful piece of skill against the Udinese defender, Ibrahimovic found himself alone in front of goal. The Swedish striker calmly finished the move with his left foot to draw the most dramatic game of
Serie A this season.
After drawing the game, Milan remained top of the table with 4 points clear from Napoli who won their weekend fixture and they are currently sitting on 36 points while Milan are on 40. The Rossoneri are going to be facing Lecce
next week while Udinese are going to be heading to Genoa on the very same day. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 are definitely closing the gap down between the table toppers and themselves and Milan can definitely not slip in the next league’s fixture against Lecce in order to avoid
losing their 4-point lead in the Italian Serie A.
