With Sandi Lovrić in the lineup, Udinese seems to have awakened, but this time, they ended up without points in the 21st round of the Italian Serie A against AC Milan. Unfortunately, this match had a touch of something that doesn’t belong on the football pitch, as home fans showered French goalkeeper Mike Maignan with racist insults after the leading goal of the fashion capital club, causing him to angrily leave the field, only to be calmed down by his teammates. Milan’s goalkeeper reportedly warned the referees about inappropriate chants from the stands at the beginning of the match.
The Slovenian international started the match in the starting eleven and remained on the field until the end of the game. The guests took the lead in the 32nd minute when Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored after a pass from Theo Hernandez, but just ten minutes later, home midfielder Lazar Samardžić leveled the score.
In the first half of the second half, the team from Udine turned the match around in the 62nd minute when Florian Thauvin capitalized on a mistake by the visiting defenders. It seemed like another surprise and Udinese’s victory, but the team from the iconic San Siro prepared a rarely seen turnaround. First, in the 83rd minute, Serbian striker Luka Jović equalized with a header, and then, in injury time, Noah Okafor scored the goal for the final victory and comeback.
Lovrić and teammates will be in action again next weekend when they visit Atalanta in Bergamo.
