Monza beats Sassuolo 2-1. THE CHRONICLE
The positive streak of Monza continues, which hits the eighth consecutive useful result, beats Sassuolo 2-1 in a comeback at the Mapei Stadium and rises to eighth place in the standings. Sassuolo, on the other hand, remains on the ground, having not won for four games: Dionisi still focuses on 4-3-3, with Consigli, Toljan, Tressoldi, Erlic and Rogerio in front of the goal of Consigli, Frattesi, Lopez and Henrique in midfield, Berardi, Pinamonti and Bajrami in front. Palladino's 3-4-2-1 instead sees Di Gregorio between the posts, Izzo, Marì and Caldirola to form the rearguard, Ciurria, Pessina, Sensi and Carlos Augusto in the middle, Mota and Caprari behind Petagna.
In the first half it is Sassuolo to dominate, with Consigli idle. In the 21st minute, Bajrami finished from distance and Berardi tried on Di Gregorio's rejection, but the Red & Whites goalkeeper still said no. Three minutes later Berardi looks for the goal from the limit, Sensi strikes with his arm, Santoro awards the penalty, but it is removed by the VAR for offside of Bajrami. At the end of the first half, after Sassuolo had become dangerous again with Bajrami and Pinamonti, it is again the VAR to intervene, this time in the opposite way, that is recalling the referee for a touch of hand in the area of Izzo, it is a penalty and Berardi from eleven meters leads his own.
In the second half the match is overturned, with merits of the guests and demerits of the hosts, too compassed, who compensate, giving way to the Brianza who find the equal at the hour of play (cross from the right by Birindelli and powerful shot by Ciurria) and right on the equal they build the beliefs that lead them to the finish line. Not without taking advantage, in the 68th minute, of the second warning that sends Tressoldi to the locker room and leaves Sassuolo in ten for expulsion. That's it? No, at the 73 'Berardi asks for the change due to injury and here begins the siege of Palladino's team, with the neroverdi forced to defend: the right passage finds him at the 93 'Pessina who scores the winning goal with an insertion that 'burns' Consigli.
