Verona-Monza, the story of the match
Il Monza starts strong, taking advantage of the game changes to put the team in difficulty Verona and immediately finding the opening goal with Dany Mota. The team of Zanetti responds aggressively, trying to immediately restore parity: first with a powerful shot from distance Lazovicblocked by the defense, then with a header by Ghilardineutralized by the sartorial dive of Turati.
Il Verona the engine speed increases little by little, but the red and whites resist the incessant pressing of the yellow and blues well. The first half ends with a lot of confusion and neither team is able to consolidate possession of the ball calmly.
Al Bentegodi the race lights up immediately, with Lazovic dangerous, but stopped by a decisive intervention of Turati.

Verona, top e flop
- Belahyan 6: Solid even when not in possession. Good at covering the lines, aggressive and skilled at recovering the ball.
- Ghilardi 6: Be careful, at least in some phases of the match. His header from a corner represents the most dangerous opportunity of the first half, but comes across a splendid save from Turati. In the second half, the early intervention on Pablo Marì was decisive.
- Tengstedt 6: Very close to the Eurogol. Splendid personal action along the back line, but at the moment of conclusion Turati intervenes with a decisive touch that denies him the joy of scoring.
- Duda 5.5: Imprecise in the setup phase, he makes several errors that weigh on the maneuver. The yellow card, which will force him to miss the match against Atalanta as a warning, completes a subpar performance. (17′ st Serdar 5.5)
- Bradaric 5: He doesn’t shorten properly, leaving too much space for Dani Mota for the goal. Bad even on the occasion of the doubling. (32′ st Pharaoh 5.5)

Monza, top e flop
- Dany Mota 8: First he unlocked it with an assist to Caprari’s kiss, coordinating perfectly, then he took advantage of the Verona defense’s slip and scored the brace. (45′ st Vignato)
- Turati 6.5: Providential dive to neutralize Ghilardi’s header. Also decisive on Tengstedt’s great personal play, touching just enough to avoid the worst, and on Lazovic in the second half. Be careful throughout the race.
- Caprari 6.5: Intelligent in his movements between the lines, fundamental in assisting Dani Mota for the goal. It decreases as the minutes pass, especially due to the many wasted energy. (27′ st Bianco 7: He makes the most of his first opportunity, scoring his first goal in Serie A)
- Djuric 6.5: Sacrifice race. At the start of the second half he makes mistakes in front of goal and is imprecise in some situations, but it is from him that Dany Mota’s second goal and Bianco’s goal arise. (40′ st Maric)
