Three golden points for Udinese in Monza

Monza-Udinese 1-2

Udinese also won in Monza. The biancorossi started aggressively but as soon as the Friulani came out of their shell they scored: a masterful action finalized by Lucca, who, with a header, did not give Turati a chance. It’ only 6’ and Monza è already under. And he swerves, becauseé two minutes later still the’ex Ajax goes in goal: the linesman stops him, who catches him in offside.

The men of the shaky Nesta, having escaped the danger, recover and begin to grind out the game: there is no shortage of chances, there is a lack of precision, with more than one conclusion from outside going out just wide. Udinese doesn’t stand by and as much as it restarts it creates dangers.

We go to rest (only one minute of recovery: another bizarre choice to say the least by Manganiello, who in the first half does not draw cards) with Monza ahead in corners (7-0), but forced once again to chase. And è that’s what counts.

They restarted and Monza immediately found the goal: splendid movement of Djuric who opened the guest defense in two, Maldini threw himself in, but could not finish and the ball ended up in the sides of Kyriakopoulos, who broke through the net: 1-1. The red-and-whites, refreshed, push on: Sava makes a big save on Djuric’s header.

The brianzoli’s generosity leads them to take big risks right away: Turati overcomes on Thauvin, who goes away on a counterattack and shoots towards the opponent’s goal, then è a Lucca’s turn to give the local fans the shivers, then Ekkelkamp tries as well.

Monza’s push runs out, but Nesta doesn’t make any changes and Udinese doubles with Bijol, who launches himself in attack and beats Turati after being well taken by the usual Ekkelkamp: at 70’ è 2-1 for Runjaic’s team.

The Brianzoli were also unlucky: at 78’ newcomer Dany Mota’s header (assist by Kyriakopoulos) crashed on the crossbar. On the counterattack Lucca failed to give the coup de grace to the hosts, who were also graced by Abankwah but failed to equalize.
