Modric Scores Historic Winner as AC Milan Claims Back-to-Back Serie A Wins

Luka Modric scored his first goal for AC Milan, securing a 1-0 victory over Bologna at San Siro and becoming the oldest midfielder to score in Serie A history, surpassing a 64-year-old record. The goal, a first-time finish from Alexis Saelemaekers' cross, came just after the hour mark, highlighting Modric's enduring quality as he recently turned 40. Milan dominated much of the match, hitting the woodwork multiple times and having a late penalty overturned by VAR, which also led to coach Massimiliano Allegri receiving a red card for dissent. An injury to Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan added to the team's challenges, but they held on for their second league win of the season, marking their best start in five years under Allegri. Bologna continued their poor away form, suffering their fourth consecutive away defeat and extending their winless streak on the road. Milan now sits fifth in the Serie A table, while Bologna is placed 13th following the loss.
