At dawn on Sunday, another outrageous discrimination scandal unfolded in the Serie A. AC Milan's black goalkeeper, Mazlan, was subjected to "monkey" insults by Udinese fans during the match, and the French international was so agitated that he left the field in protest that the match was suspended for 10 precious minutes. Luckily, Mazlan returned to the match after calming down and helped AC Milan beat Udinese 3-2 on the road. After the match, the community spoke out in support of Mezzalan and against racial discrimination.
In the first half of the match, the deadlock was broken in the 31st minute when AC Milan's Rolf Dostrok scored a goal. However, the Udinese fans did not stop, but instead intensified their insults, using racially abusive language against Mejlan. After consulting with the referee, Mazlan chose to leave the field temporarily, and his teammates came forward to comfort him. After the authorities intervened, he agreed to return to the pitch and the match continued. Udinese took advantage of the situation and counterattacked with a goal each from Nakshasamadisit and Teo Ooiun to take the lead to 2-1.
AC Milan coach Pioli decisively adjusted the tactics, replacing Luca Zuwer and Noah Ocaco to strengthen the attack, and the effect was immediate. In the 83rd minute, Luca Zuwer scored a header in the penalty area to equalize the score. In the last 3 minutes of extra time, Noah Okako scored again, helping AC Milan to a 3-2 shutout, which also marked Pioli's 100th Serie A victory in charge of AC Milan.
After the match, people from all walks of life came out in solidarity with Mejlan to resist racial discrimination. His France national teammate Kilian McBarbie said on social media, "Mejlan, you are not alone in this fight, we are with you. This issue is still unresolved, we've had enough and we're saying 'no' to racism!"
