Milan -Udinese Player Rating

Here the player rating from Udinese vs AC milan

Handanovic: 7.0- After conceding five goals to Milan earlier in the season, the towering Slovenian international had only a handful of saves to make this evening although he will be disappointed about not being able to keep a clean sheet.

Isla: 6.5- A calm and composed performance by the Chilean defender who had something of a relaxing evening as Flamini and Jankulovski were unable to make too many forward runs.

Zapata: 8.0- The Colombian stalwart patrolled the back line with the expertise of a four-star General, and even chipped in with a goal. What more can you ask from your centre-back?

Felipe: 7.0- Did an admirable job of policing the centre of the defence alongside Zapata. Did not give Pato a sniff of goal all evening long.

Pasquale: 7.0- He was having a sensational match until he was booked for a late tackle on Kaka in the 25th minute and he petered off a bit. Still earned his paycheque with a solid performance.

Inler: 7.0- A plethora of clubs are vying for his services and it’s easy to tell why as he did all of the dirty work without fuss or complaint this evening.

D’Agostino: 8.0- Could be the most in form player in Serie A at the moment and continued his torrid goalscoring streak with his sixth goal in his last five matches.

Asamoah: 6.5- The Ghanaian midfielder did all that was asked of him tonight and was the catalyst of some lightning-quick Udinese counterattacks.

Pepe: 7.0- Showed some flashes of brilliance out on the wing and his free-kick deliveries were dangerous this evening.

Quagliarella: 7.0- Will he stay or will he go? The Udinese faithful hope he will stay put although he could not buy a goal this evening. Was robbed by Dida on a couple of occasions and hit the post late on.

Floro Flores: 7.0- Was very fortunate to win a penalty for his team as it looked like he lost his balance on his own, but nonetheless he looked dangerous whenever he touched the ball, and gave Senderos fits this evening.

SUBS: Sanchez (72”) 6.5, Obodo (84”) 6.0, Lukovic (87”) NA


AC MILAN

Dida: 7.0- The much-maligned goalkeeper made some wonderful saves to keep the scoreline respectable. No chance on either goal.

Zambrotta: 5.0- The Italian international was anonymous for long stretches of the game and looked like he didn’t want anything to do with tonight’s match. A big disappointment.

Maldini: 6.0- The old Italian warhorse was a step behind the Udinese forwards all evening long and conceded the penalty which opened the scoring.

Senderos: 6.0- The clumsy Swiss defender did not have the necessary pace to keep up with Pepe and Floro Flores tonight.

Jankulovski: 6.0- Did not manage to gallop forward as he usually does and did not give his side any options in attack on the left flank.

Flamini: 6.0- Was handed a midfield role this evening but could not make any kind of impact on the match and was sacrificed for Pipo Inzaghi.

Pirlo: 5.0- Was guilty of giving away possession much too easily in the early going and played like a shadow of his former self.

Ambrosini: 6.5- Took a shameful flop inside of the area in an attempt to win a penalty in the second half but managed to grab a late consolation goal.

Seedorf: 5.0- The Dutchman was predictable whenever he received the ball and lacked the vision to be an effective force tonight. Was jeered by the Milan travelling supporters when he was substituted in the 60th minute.

Kaka: 6.0- Was able to run at the Udinese back-line on a couple of occasions and had a chance before the half-time whistle but could not muster up anything dangerous until deep into injury time when he provided the cross that set up Ambrosini’s goal.

Pato: 5.0- The Brazilian starlet was disappointing as he did not come close to troubling Handanovic this evening.

SUBS: Inzaghi (46”) 5.0, Ronaldinho (60”) 6.0, Shevchenko (73”) 5.5
