Monza, after the defeat in Lecce last week, welcomed Juventus to the U-Power Stadiumex-Di Gregoriostill unbeaten in the championship, even if only sixth in the standings. Free of Pessina, Gagliardini, Djuric, Vignato, Valoti, Petagna and Caldirola mister In this he lined up the team with a four-man defence, D’Ambrosio owner behind and Caprari forward, behind Mota. Against the Bianconeri the Brianza players once again played with commitment, also creating dangers at the opponent's goal, but the winning streak was missing. For Nesta's boys, increasingly last in the standings, the solidarity of the Curva has arrived also given the good performance; for Juve, however, a hard-fought victory.

Monza – Juventus live, second half
In the second half Monza tried to throw their heart over the obstacle, but Di Gregorio's goal remained untouched. The Bianconeri return to victory after over 40 days, the Brianza have not won at home since March 16th and are sinking in the standings.

The first half in summary
Great game at U-Power Stadium. Monza conceded, as usual, the goal after a few minutes (McKennie), but did not sit idly by and equalized with a Eurogoal from Birindelli. Then Juve takes the lead again (defense error, Gonzalez's goal), but tonight's Monza doesn't make an appearance, reacts and almost equalises: Caprari and Dany Mota, in fact, scare the Bianconeri on three occasions in the final. Lots of emotions, but we go into the break with a goal down.
