Serie A: Monza beats Fiorentina and gets the three points
Pedro Pereira was a starter and decisive; ‘viola’ are experiencing a results crisis
Monza ended their five-game losing streak in Serie A with a shock 2-0 home win against Fiorentina , but the team now coached by Salvatore Bocchetti following the departure of Alessandro Nesta remain bottom of the table.
Patrick Ciurria opened the scoring with a timely shot (44′) and Daniel Maldini ‘s goal brought the U-Power Stadium, home of Monza, to life – the forward responded in the best possible way to a cross from Portuguese Pedro Pereira , who started on the team’s right wing.
Fiorentina still scored with a penalty from Lucas Beltrán (74′), but it was not enough to prevent the defeat. The team has only gained one point in the last five matches, during which they went from three points behind in first place to now being 15 points behind the leaders.
Monza have 13 points and are still six points behind the first team outside the relegation zone, Verona .
