Fiorentina’s struggles continue as they record their fifth consecutive match without a win, having recently dropped to fourth place just a month ago.
Monza, currently bottom of the Serie A table, marked a long-awaited return to winning ways almost three months after their last triumph, beating Fiorentina 2-1 at home in the match that concluded matchday 20 of the competition.
Goals from Patrick Ciurria (44th minute) and Daniel Maldini (63rd minute), the latter being served by Portuguese left-back Pedro Pereira, allowed the Lombard team to take all three points, having not won since October 21 against Verona, suffering a cursed series of 11 games without success in the elite of Italian football.
Despite a glimmer of hope with an Argentinian goal from Lucas Beltrán (74th minute), Fiorentina’s fall has deepened as it extends its winless streak. A month ago, she was in fourth place, just three points behind the championship leaders.
