AC Milan suffered a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to 10-man Ferencváros on Thursday, leaving their Europa League campaign in serious danger after recording just one victory in their opening four matches.

The Italian giants struggled to overcome the Hungarian side at home, with Ferencváros producing a disciplined performance to claim all three points despite finishing the encounter with 10 players.

The result leaves Milan in the Europa League elimination zone, putting pressure on their remaining fixtures as they attempt to secure a place in the next stage of the competition.

Ferencváros demonstrated greater efficiency in front of goal, taking advantage of their opportunities to secure a significant away victory against one of Europe’s most decorated clubs.

Milan, meanwhile, failed to make their home advantage count and were unable to find a way back into the contest, compounding their difficulties in the competition.

The defeat represents another setback for the seven-time European champions, who have managed only one win in four matches and now face an increasingly difficult task to improve their position in the league-phase standings.

With four matches played, Milan must produce a stronger response in their remaining Europa League fixtures to avoid an early exit from the competition.

Ferencváros’ victory, on the other hand, provides a major boost to their campaign, particularly after managing to secure the result despite playing with a numerical disadvantage.
