Buts : Ciurria (44e) and Maldini (62e) for Monza // Beltrán (SP, 74e) for Fio.
Monza moving forward again?
Subscribed to 2-1 in his last six matches, but the six times against him, Monza put some fuel back into the engine by beating a poor Fiorentina (2-1). The first leg of Serie A is now over for these two clubs, and Monza will have won only twice. Fio can still boast of remaining in European places. She is sixth this evening. Still last, Monza is six points behind Hellas Verona, 17e.
All alone, Patrick Ciurria opened the scoring just before half-time. For the hour of play, Daniel Maldini, grandson, son and not yet father of, made his right foot speak by passing in front of Yacine Adli to take over a curled cross from Pedro Pereira. 15 minutes from the end, the match had the merit of being restarted because of a stupid foul by Stefano Turati. The Italian gave Lucas Beltrán a good opportunity to restart the match, but the Viola had their minds elsewhere. The team of Raffaele Palladino, former coach of… Monza, has not won for more than a month.
-Too focused on losing Jonathan Ikoné?
