Lecce beat Monza 1-0 in Serie A

There was still a lot to play for because the hosts, who were playing in their first Serie A season, were vying for eighth place and possible Conference League qualifying. The Salentini might temporarily leave the danger zone while this is happening. Morten Hjulmand had a muscle problem, Kastriot Dermaku was hurt, and Luca Caldirola was placed on inactive duty.

A defensive blunder was missed by Gabriel Strefezza and Askildsen, and Pablo Mari then stopped Lameck Banda's cross from finding Assan Ceesay at the back post. Gianluca Caprari's free kick was not too far off goal, and Patrick Ciurria scuffed wide after a Carlos Augusto pull-back, but Ceesay was fortunate the offside flag was up when he cruelly squandered by shooting over the empty net. The referee first thought Federico Baschirotto's highly dangerous sliding tackle on Andrea Colpani was on the ball, but he later decided to award a penalty.
