AC Milan slipped to a 2-1 reverse away to Udinese in Serie A this evening.
The Rossoneri missed out on the chance to move up to seventh in the table and put pressure on the European places as second-half goals from Giampiero Pinzi and Emmanuel Badu gave the home side the points.

Badu went close in the first half when he rose highest to meet Antonio Di Natale's cross, but the header was just wide.
Pinzi gave Zebrette the lead just before the hour mark when he controlled and finished from inside the area after the ball had found its away to him from a corner.
Badu then doubled Udinese's advantage when he reacted quickest to tap in the rebound of Di Natale's parried shot.
Giampaolo Pazzini gave the visitors a late lifeline when he converted with a free header from close range, but the hosts held on to take the points.
