Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu scored the match-winner for Udinese who overcame AC Milan after hammering them 2-1 in a nail-biting Serie A clash on Saturday evening.
The 24-year-old struck in the 74th minute to increase the tally for Udinese to 2-0 as AC Milan's late consolation goal scored by Giampaolo Pazzini failed to rescue them.
Badu reclaimed his starting berth in the Udinese line-up and he lasted the entire minutes of the game, scoring what proved to be the match-winner for under-performing Udinese.
The win for Udinese means they have delivered a potentially knockout blow to AC Milan's hopes of playing in Europe next season.
Pinzi took the ball down well from a corner and struck his shot low to the left of Diego Lopez.
It was the least Udinese deserved, but it was still not enough to satisfy their appetite. They continued to attack, with Di Natale going agonisingly close to setting up a second.
He nearly got his name on the scoresheet with a 20-yard shot which Lopez parried away to his left, but Guilherme was waiting there to turn the ball back in for Badu to meet and convert at the near post.

Shame on Diego Lopez who said Muntari and Essien do not have the technical ability to play for Milan. Well, another Ghanaian, Badu has proven to him that Africans have the technical ability to deliver at the highest level when it matters most. And so the racist and biased coach Inzaghi should reinstate Muntari and Essien in his starting lineup in his next game before he gets fired by Belusconi by the end of the season.
