Modric, 40, Seals Milan’s 1-0 Over Bologna as Allegri Is Sent Off After VAR Reversal

Allegri’s dismissal brings a likely touchline ban next match, with Maignan awaiting tests on a calf problem.

Overview

  • Luka Modric decided the match shortly after the hour, becoming one of Serie A’s few 40-year-old scorers and the oldest midfielder to score in the league.
  • A penalty initially awarded to Milan for a foul on Nkunku was overturned on review, prompting Allegri’s protests and a straight red card.
  • Goalkeeper Mike Maignan exited with a right-calf issue that forced a substitution, and Allegri indicated he does not expect him to play in Udine.
  • Defender Pavlovic also left with a muscular problem as Milan finished a tense game in which they struck the woodwork multiple times.
  • Sassuolo beat Lazio 1-0 at the Mapei Stadium for their first league win, with Muric’s saves proving decisive and Rovella’s muscle injury pending evaluation.
