Ferencváros stun AC Milan at San Siro to maintain perfect Europa League record

Ferencváros beat AC Milan 2-0 at San Siro and remain one of only three teams with a perfect Europa League record, alongside Benfica and Bournemouth.

Europa League football

Ferencváros delivered the standout result of the latest Europa League action, beating AC Milan 2-0 at San Siro to underline a campaign that has put them among the competition’s most consistent sides. The victory was an upset in its own right, but its wider significance lies in the winning sequence it preserved.

According to the Daily Sun’s results report, the Hungarian club stunned Milan on their own ground. A separate Europa League standings update lists Ferencváros alongside Benfica and Bournemouth as the only teams still holding a perfect record, giving the San Siro success an importance beyond a single memorable away result.

A statement result in Milan

The combination of opponent, venue and scoreline makes this the central story of the round. Ferencváros did not merely take something from their visit to Milan: they won by two goals and kept their hosts from scoring. Those are the clearest measures of a result that strengthens the significance of their European run.

For Milan, the immediate outcome is equally clear. A home fixture ended in defeat without a goal, while the visitors left with their winning record intact. The available reports do not establish the consequences for Milan’s position, so the result should not be stretched into a claim about their qualification prospects. On the night itself, however, Ferencváros secured the decisive return.

The broader assessment is that this was more than an isolated surprise. Ferencváros are part of a very small group yet to drop points. Winning at San Siro gives that consistency a particularly striking reference point, even if it does not settle where they will finish or how far they can progress.

Only three perfect records remain

Benfica and Bournemouth provide the company in that leading statistical group. The distinction matters: a perfect record requires victories throughout, rather than simply avoiding defeat. Juventus and Olympiacos are also reported to remain unbeaten, but they are not included among the three clubs with an unblemished winning return.

Bournemouth’s latest European success also involved overcoming adversity. TNT Sports highlights describe the Cherries fighting back to beat Sparta, with Evanilson and Rayan prominent again. That comeback offers a different route to the same broader achievement: maintaining a winning sequence in a competition where only three sides have managed to do so.

Ferencváros nevertheless take the spotlight because their latest victory pairs that consistency with a conspicuous away scalp. The 2-0 score at San Siro is the defining fact, while the perfect-record update supplies the context that makes it more than a one-match headline.

There is no need to turn that combination into a prediction. The evidence already supports a substantial conclusion: Ferencváros have produced one of the Europa League’s most notable results while sustaining a level of consistency shared only by Benfica and Bournemouth. Milan were the latest opponents unable to interrupt it.
