Monza and Sassuolo 1-1
(0-1) in a match of the 19th first leg of the Serie A football championship played on the Brianteo stadium in Monza.
THE CHRONICLE OF THE MATCH
A goal and a point each, but also some regrets for both.
It ends 1-1 at the U-Power Stadium, with Monza and Sassuolo moving the standings in the direction of salvation, but only manage to rejoice halfway.
The landlords for the premises of a match which, with a home victory, would have left them close to the valid positions for Europe.
The Emilians for missed opportunities, with Laurienté's crossbar and Berardi's failed goal in the final that could have represented a nice springboard towards the middle of the table.
The newly promoted from Brianza turns at the end of the first leg at an altitude of 22, Sassuolo at 17, at the end of a sparkling match.
Monza starts in a sprint with Petagna, who hooks up well in the 9th minute and back-heels for Caprari, walled in for a corner.

(HANDLE)
Landlords who collect 4 shots from the flag in 10 minutes, but one is enough for Sassuolo to pass: Traoré cuts a right foot, the former Frattesi extends his heel and Ferrari only finds himself having to push it into the net: 0-1 in the 13th minute '.
Monza, who started with Caldirola in place of Marì in central defense, played vertically on Petagna's elastic, who lowered to receive the offloader and opened up space for the insertions of Ciurria and Birindelli.
On the other hand,
Berardi's high and lateral position forces Carlos to remain in support of Izzo
.
However, the dangers mostly come from the upper parts: Berardi who leans on Carlos and extends a bell tower for Defrel in the 15th minute, Caprari who cuts in a left cross for Ciurria in the 22nd minute.
Monza tries to play the game, but the opportunities don't come.
And Sassuolo finds courage as the minutes go by.
In the 32nd minute the ball into Caprari's space, with Petagna picking up in the area, loses the moment and has to wait in tow for Pessina, whose left foot is shielded by the Emilian defence.
He doesn't find any detours, but Berardi doesn't find the goal either: it's the 35th minute when he picks it up outside the area and fires a right foot that goes not much beyond the crossroads.
Instead, Laurienté takes the crossbar in full in the 40th minute: Berardi, still in that hybrid position, cuts Izzo and Carlos out, runs away on the back and unloads for Laurenti who from inside the
area kicks a right that slams on the upright.
Overturning in front and Ciurria awaits the arrival of Carlos, who has time to take aim and launch a violent right foot just a few centimeters high.
The match is alive and Palladino waits for the interval to change three in one fell swoop: Mota for Petagna, Marì for Marlon and Colpani for Birindelli.
The first chance for the second half to come up precisely on a quick play between Mota and Colpani, but also the second: it's on 10' when the Portuguese cuts the area from the left by jumping Obiang and Traoré, then Ferrari in a split closes Colpani's shot from two steps.
Two sparks, but Monza is set on fire by Caprari: 15 minute, ball collected on the fly and right footer who kisses the post and restores the draw
.
Sassuolo only met again from a corner, with Laurentié hitting a right footed shot into the outside of the net in the 24th minute.
Palladino tries to win it by removing a defender (Caldirola) and launching an attack (Gytkjaer), but the best opportunity is neroverde: Berardi and Toljan go on the counterattack and close a triangulation with the Emilian 10 who shoots wide.
15' from the end Ciurria pits deep for Gytkjear who passes behind Ferrari and gets Pegolo to say no.
6' from the end Frattesi acts as a pivot in the area and frees Berardi with two lows: more than a penalty in motion, but the ball is wrong and right wide with a missed pass.
In the final, doubtful contact Tresoldi-Ciurria, but Prantera gesticulates conspicuously to underline that in his opinion the contact is not a penalty and that we can continue.
