In the Serie A clash held at Dacia Arena, Udinese hosted AC Milan illustratively demonstrating their superiority on the pitch. The home side emerged victorious with a 3:1 scoreline, shattering Milan's hopes for a win. A deeper look into the match reveals the key statistical components that defined the result.

A vital factor was the lightning-quick reaction of Udinese. Roberto Pereyra's goal in the first half, just barely past nine minutes in, set the pace of the game. This goal, credited to an assist from Lazar Samardzic, motivated Udinese's gameplay and marked the tone of the match. Despite AC Milan equalizing in the 49th minute, Udinese retook the lead within two minutes and then solidified their victory in the second half.

Another notable factor was the shooting accuracy of both teams. Despite AC Milan having one more shot on target than Udinese (6:5), Udinese capitalized on their opportunities better. Besides, AC Milan had fewer shots off-target than Udinese (3:6), questioning their offensive efficiency. Additionally, each team had similar chances from corner kicks with 6 for AC Milan and 5 for Udinese, yet the home team converted them into goals more successfully.

The discipline of both teams was called into question, but it was Udinese who appeared to struggle with this aspect. Udinese accumulated four yellow cards compared to Milan's two, but despite their aggressive play, they managed to avoid a red card situation. These fouls also manifested in 16 fouls committed by Udinese, significantly more than the nine fouls from AC Milan, indicating a high-pressure strategy by the home team.

Another aspect to consider was the efficacy of the teams' offensive lines in bypassing the opponents' offside traps. Udinese was called offsides twice, while AC Milan fell into offsides three times - a note that points at the Milan’s team ambitious but unsuccessful attacking attempts.

In conclusion, Udinese's swift response, along with their ability to regain and maintain the lead, were the leading factors in their victory. Their attack and exploitation of opportunities outweighed their defensive errors and aggressive playstyle, ultimately leading to a result in their favor. AC Milan, although having slightly better shooting accuracy and a disciplined game, could not capitalize on their offensive opportunities and failed to suppress that of Udinese, resulting in their downfall.
