At 41 years and 166 days, Zlatan Ibrahimović became the oldest scorer in the history of Serie A. The Swede scored from the penalty spot, which was deflected by Jaka Bijol due to handball. Nevertheless, the Slovenian was happy, as his Udinese defeated Milan 3:1.
At the end of the first half of Saturday’s evening match of the 27th round in the Italian football championship, VAR intervened due to the suspicion that Jaka Bijol played with his hand in his own penalty area. After a long review from all angles, the head referee Daniele Doveri himself looked at the controversial action, in which the ball bounced off the chest and slightly hit the arm of the Udinese central defender, which resulted in the award of 11m. The decision upset Udinese, especially coach Andrea Sottil, who lost his temper and was sent off as a result.
Ibrahimović into history with a repeated 11-m
The white dot was approached by the captain of Milan, who only returned to the pitch a few weeks ago. Zlatan Ibrahimovic he struck, but home goalkeeper Marco Silvestri celebrated. The match had already resumed when VAR intervened once more. Home striker Beto ran too quickly into the 16-yard box and the 11-yard box was repeated. In the second, Ibrahimović was sovereign, he chose the other direction and lifted the ball with a powerful shot to equalize at 1:1.
Two minutes later, Udinese took the lead again
However, the historic moment and the goal of the 41-year-old Swede lulled the Milanese to sleep, who forgot about their defense in stoppage time. Udinese took the lead with a quick action before the end of the first half: Isaac Success found a partner in attack from the left side in front of the goal Betawho among the four players of Milan scored for 2:1.
A shocked Milan was unrecognizable in the second half and far from the team that awaits the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Napoli, who are practically the new champions of Italy. It’s in the 70th minute Kingsley Ehizibue confirmed the victory of Udinese and the celebration of the sweet victory over the giants from Lombardy could begin in the stands of Friuli.
Sandi Lovrić, the other Slovenian representative at Udinese, who entered the game in the 74th minute, also helped to maintain a high 3:1 lead.
