Monza triumphed 2-1 against Sassuolo on Friday in Serie A, moving up to eighth position. Patrick Ciurria tied the score for Monza at the hour mark, but Matteo Pessina scored the game-winning goal in stoppage time. Six minutes into the first half's stoppage time, Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi successfully converted a penalty. With his tenth goal of the year, Berardi joined Ciro Immobile and Lautaro Martinez as the only players to score ten or more goals in each of the previous four Serie A seasons.
Sassuolo stayed in 13th place. Sassuolo has not been like themselves this season, and at various stages during the campaign, they have been perilously near the relegation zone. In their previous five games, Alessio Dionisi's team has only managed one victory, falling to Salernitana, Lazio, and Inter.
