He returned to victories and dreams of Monza! Raffaele Palladino’s team beat Empoli 2-1 and climbed to ninth place in the standings with 32 points, three less than seventh placed Juventus, having reasonable hopes of a European exit!
The home side were fortunate to open the scoring in the 20th minute, with the ball reaching after some great work by Churia and he with a nice finish inside the area to make it 1-0, with which the two teams went to the break.
In the 52nd minute, the guests managed to equalize. Marin made a wonderful effort and cross from the right, with Satriano to become the receiver and with a close header beat Di Gregorio for 1-1.
However, Monza had not said the last word and with Itso’s header in the 67th minute, after an amazing execution by Caprari, “wrote” 2-1, which was also the final result.
It is worth noting that Monza became the first newly enlightened team after Chievo and the 2000/01 season, which has the best collection of points in Serie A after 25 matches, with the Verona team having reached 40.
