Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 3rd position with 52 points and a positive goal difference of +20
Monza, 11th position with 30 points and a negative goal difference of -7
What a flop for AC Milan wasted the chance to take the 2nd position. Monza with a prestigious victory won the Serie A Week 25 game freezing Milan on Sunday 18 February 2024 at the U-Power Stadium in Monza, Italy.
Everything worked in favor for Monza who took the lead at the end of the first half with the penalty converted by Matteo Pessina. Dany Mota’s curling shot which gave Monza a double lead at half-time. At the beginning of the second half, the Rossoneri remained with ten men due to the expulsion of Luka Jovic in the 52nd minute. A ray of hope appeared when Milan got back into the game with the new arrivals: first Olivier Giroud shortens in a split and then Christian Pulisic finds the equalizer. Monza, however, did not give up and took the lead again with Warren Bondo’s first goal in Serie A. In the final, Milan rushed forward but also conceded a fourth goal on the counterattack by Lorenzo Colombo. BAM! Way to go for Monza and a big flop for Milan.
Monza took the lead in the 45th minute. Matteo Pessina converted a penalty with a left-footed shot. The penalty was conceded by Malick Thiaw.
