AC Milan 4-2 Udinese: Ante Rebic's double gives the champions a winning start to their title defence

  /  autty

Ante Rebic's brace helped AC Milan to a 4-2 win over visiting Udinese on the opening day of the 2022-23 Serie A season at the San Siro.

The Croatia international scored either side of half-time to give the reigning champions a winning start to the season, having fallen behind after just two minutes at the San Siro to Rodrigo Becao's shock opener.

Stefano Pioli's side responded brilliantly, drawing level on 11 minutes through French defender Theo Hernandez' penalty, and Rebic's first of the game saw them 2-1 up by the time Adam Pesina equalised for Udinese on the stroke of half-time.

But the hosts kept Le Zebrette out in the second period, with Spanish forward Brahim Diaz and Rebic once again netting to make it 4-2 by the final whistle in Milan.
