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.
