Jürgen Ekkelenkamp and Maduka Okoye delivered a standout performance that stunned the home crowd.

Udinese capitalised on Milan’s defensive vulnerabilities early in the match. The breakthrough came in the first half when a dangerous low cross from Arthur Atta forced an own goal from Davide Bartesaghi, handing the visitors a deserved lead.

Just before halftime, Ekkelenkamp doubled Udinese’s advantage. Rising above Milan’s defence, he powered home a header from a precise delivery by Nicolò Zaniolo to make it 2-0.

In the second half, Milan attempted a comeback but were repeatedly denied by Maduka Okoye, who produced a series of important saves to preserve Udinese’s clean sheet.
