Ghanaian defender Nicholas Opoku handed AC Milan victory as he lost possession in midfield which was capitalised by the Rossoneri in injury-time.

Opoku exhibited a solid performance for Udinese in the encounter against Milan on Sunday night until his mistake which eventually gifted the Rossoneri victory.

Udinese, playing at their own backyard, mounted pressure on the visitors in the quest for a possible last-gasp winner but the Ghanaian defender ruined all their plans as he gave away with an over-hit control in midfield.

AC Milan pounced on Opoku's mistake with a blistering counter-attack and snatched the winner through Alessio Romagnoli who took a great first touch and unleashed a curler inside the right post.

The result sent AC Milan to fourth on the league table after accumulating 21 points with Udinese languishing on the 16th position with nine points.

Black Stars head coach Kwesi Appiah will be monitoring Opoku's situation amid call-ups for the game against Ethiopia in the AFCON qualifier.
