AC Milan overcame an early one-goal deficit to defeat Udinese 4-2 on Saturday at San Siro, to make a winning start to their Serie A<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

Ante Rebic, Theo Hernandez, and Brahim Diaz all scored for the Rossoneri as they overcame an early deficit caused by Udinese defender Rodrigo Becao.<\/p>\n

At the start of his third season in Italy, the Brazilian defender scored for just the fifth time in Serie A by nodding in a corner kick from a tight angle. Three of his goals have come against Milan, and all three have been scored by headers.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Brahim Diaz retook the lead for Milan one minute into the second half, capitalising on a defensive error by Udinese.<\/p>\n

After Hernandez crossed the ball into the area and Masina deflected it, Diaz scored from close range.<\/p>\n

In the 68th minute, Rebic sent another effort past Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri into the upper left corner to restore the home team’s two-goal advantage.<\/p>\n

Last year’s twelfth-placed Udinese were the last team to score against Milan at the San Siro before the defending champions played five home games without surrendering a goal to win the championship.<\/p>\n

Milan will visit Atalanta on Sunday, while Udinese will host Salernitana the following Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
