Serie A: victories for Monza and Fiorentina

Brianzoli folds Verona at home, purple blow in Genoa

Successes for Monza and Fiorentina in the 3 p.m. matches of the 13th day of Serie A. The Brianzoli bent Verona 2-0 at home thanks to two goals in the second half by Carlos Augusto in the 68th minute and Colpani in the 90th minute. The Scaligeri played more than an hour in 10 men due to the expulsion of Magnani for a misconduct on a clear goal opportunity. Thanks to this victory, Palladino’s team is now 15th on 13 points: the jarring note was the injury to Sensi, who left in tears at the end of the match.

Second consecutive victory for Fiorentina, which beat Sampdoria 2-0 in Genoa thanks to goals by Bonaventura in the 4th minute and Milenkovic in the 58th minute. Fiorentina climbs to 16 points in 11th place, Samp remains second-to-last at 6.
