Monza gets back to winning ways and hopes

Monza-Fiorentina 2-1
Second success in the championship for Monza, which beats Fiorentina 2-1 and returns to hope for salvation. The 20th day of Serie A, in fact, closes with the surprise victory of the “biancorossi” who narrowly beat the Viola at the U-Power Stadium thanks to the goals of Ciurria and Maldini, Beltran the goal for the guests.
After 5’ Gudmundsson shoots high from a favorable position: è the first chance of the match. Soon after Sottil does everything right except the conclusion: another opportunity wasted by the violets. The Var saves Dionisi, who gives a penalty to Fiorentina, but it is always the Tuscans who lead the dances while the Brianzoli struggle to produce a decent maneuver: the most active è is the usual Bondo, who on 24’ gets on his own and kicks just wide. The first half seems to be heading toward closing with untouched goals but to unlock the result è Ciurria with a precise left-footer on which nothing canò De Gea. Shortly afterwards Maldini goes away from the distracted lily defense but concludes to the side. At rest Monza-Fiorentina 1-0.
They restarted and Fiorentina tried to push persistently but with little construction. È rather Monza to strike again: cross by Pedro Pereira on which Maldini ventures, who does not give De Gea a chance. 2-0 at 64'. Ten minutes later, the Viola halved the disadvantage with Beltran on a penalty kick, but it was not enough: the red-and-whites resisted the final forcing of the Tuscans and brought home three golden points.
Thanks to this victory, Monza climbs to 13 points in the standings, -1 behind second-last-place Venezia, while Fiorentina remains stuck in sixth place with 32 points, just behind Juventus (33 points, ed.).
