Juventus wins 1-2 against Monza at the U-Power Stadium in the match valid for the 17th matchday of Serie A.
McKennie, Birindelli and Nico Gonzalez, three goals in the first half. The match begins with Monza sending a clear signal to Juventus on the restart, but the Bianconeri react and after less than 3' of play they came close to taking the lead with Yildiz, who rebounded a clearance from D'Ambrosio and almost outwitted Turati. Thiago Motta's team plays the game and uses Vlahovic as an offensive reference: in the 6th minute he harpoons a cross from Yidiz and passes it to Nico Gonzalez, who tries a left-footed shot, but Turati is attentive and blocks it to the ground. The Argentine sensationally misses a support in the 10th minute and so Caprari attacks the Old Lady's rearguard, targeting Gatti and trying to place his right-footed shot on the far post from the edge: the shot is wide and the ball is lost on the bottom. The former Fiorentina player is the great protagonist of this start of the match and following the development of a corner missed by Turati, he tries to surprise the goalkeeper with his head, who has a good reflex and deflects it into the corner again. This time, however, Koopmeiners' left-footed player does a lot of harm because he finds Weston McKennie alone in the small area, who with his right foot hits the goal in the 14th minute and makes it 1-0 for Juventus against Monza. Nesta's men are not willing and in the 22nd minute they find the 1-1 almost by surprise with Samuele Birindelli: excellent cross from the left by Carboni to the far post for the right winger, who arrives running and finds a shot with his left foot unstoppable, which ends up on Di Gregorio's right. In the 39th minute, however, the Bianconeri regained the lead thanks to Nico Gonzalez, who was the quickest of all to take advantage of a rebound in the area after a protection from Locatelli and beat Turati with his right foot from a few steps away.
Juventus holds on and wins 3 key points. Pleasant match at the U-Power Stadium, with the second half no worse than the first. In the 47th minute Bianco comes into his own and forces Di Gregorio to save after a challenge that took him to the edge of the area. On the turnaround in front, an elaborate action by Juventus, who eventually shoots on goal with Yildiz from the left, but Turati does well to defend his post. The Old Lady's sheer volume of play resulted in a long-range attempt by Nico Gonzalez, who found a treacherous trajectory, with the ball bouncing in front of the home goalkeeper, but in the end the red and white goalkeeper got away with it. 60 seconds pass and a replay of the previous action is played, with the winger shooting a little more centrally this time. In the 70th minute, a sensational chance for D'Ambrosio, who receives it in the area after a long possession by Monza, stops the ball and kicks with his left foot all alone from a central position, but the ball ends up high over the crossbar of the goal defended by Di Gregorio. In the 76th minute Juventus had the opportunity with Yildiz's header from a tight angle which was excellently blocked by Turati. This is the last real emotion of the match, which ends with the Bianconeri's success over the Brianza 2-1.
