Udinese
Udinese manage to secure wins even when they are not at their best. Their 0-1 away victory over Pisa was a fair result, based on a very positive first-half performance for Udinese. The only goal of the game was scored in the 14th minute by Iker Bravo, at the end of a well-constructed counter-attack. Udinese had opportunities for another goal before the half was over, but failed to capitalise.
After the halftime break, Udinese opted for a more cautious approach and managed to shepherd the game in their intended direction. Pisa showed the will but did not have the way of breaching Udinese’s defence, and the latter cruised to a rather comfortable victory. The 3 points brought them up to 7, putting them in second place behind only Juventus and champions Napoli.
Milan
Milan are trying to stay close to the top in the early stages of the season, and they earned their second win of the campaign against Bologna. The final score reflects how close the game was, though Milan were the better team. They tallied 20 shot attempts and hit the post four times; they were clearly the only team of the two that tried to play attacking football.
The star of the show vs Bologna was the ageless Croatian legend Luka Modric, who scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute. At age 40, Modric is still ageing like a fine wine, becoming the oldest midfielder in league history to score a goal.
In squad news, leading forward Rafael Leao remains unavailable for selection and has yet to make his season debut. Newly arrived midfielder Jashari also remains sidelined and is expected to be so for the foreseeable future.
