Udinese lose at home to Monza in Serie A
Nesta’s team surprisingly beats the Friulians in the match valid for the 36th day of Serie A
Monza’s surprise win, beating Udinese away on the third-to-last day of the championship, also finding away success after 7 months. At the Bluenergy Stadium, Runjaic ‘s men went behind against the Brianza team who were already relegated, only to then level the scores with a great volley from Lucca . In the final moments, the winning counterattack finished by Keita gave Nesta one of the last joys of the season, despite the standings having nothing left to say. The Friulians thus remain stuck with 44 points, tied with Torino, who will host Inter at 18:00 . The next matchday is Juventus at the Stadium, where the Bianconeri – decimated by injuries and suspensions – are called upon to find success again after two consecutive draws that have compromised the race for the Champions League. As for Nesta ‘s team , the calendar includes the home match with Empoli who are stuck in the relegation zone.
Udinese-Monza: the story of the match
The game is struggling to get going at the Bluenergy Stadium, with the first opportunity coming in the 18th minute with Kamara , who narrowly misses the target with a half-volley. Udinese leads the game but is unable to find a way to take the lead. After half an hour, Solet calls Pizzignacco into action with a right-footed shot into the middle. At the end of the first half, the scoring remains blocked, with Monza returning to the locker room with zero shots on target. In the second half, however, it is Nesta’s team that breaks the silence, finding the back of the net after 5 games thanks to Birindelli’s incursion, who breaks through into the area, shoots on target and hits the post: on the rebound, Caprari pushes it over the line with his shoulder. Lucca levels the score with a great right-footed volley to straighten the match. In the final, the 2000-born striker almost doubles the lead with a header. But in the 89th minute, Keita finalized the guests’ counterattack and froze the Friuli crowd: 2-1 at the final whistle.
