Monza-Verona: 2-0, Carlos Augusto and Colpani decide. Bad injury for Sensi

Monza returns to success after 3 defeats in a row and beats Verona 2-0 in a direct battle for salvation. The goals of Carlos Augusto and Colpani decide in the second half. I smiled for Pablo Marì appeared in public for the first time after the attack. Tears instead for Sensi whose right ankle has suffered a very bad twist.

Delicate challenge for salvation. Raffaele Palladino almost entirely re-proposes the team that beat Sampdoria 3-0 a month ago. Only change, Marì is missing and Marlon plays. In 3-4-2-1 the tip is Mota Carvalho, Petagna takes a seat. Same form for Verona that behind Henry, Depaoli and Kallon system. Salvatore is in an emergency without three suspended players and a long list of unavailable. After 25 seconds Monza could unlock it: Mota’s descent, ball in the center for Caprari who chooses a soft solution instead of power, ball rejected and Pessina with a half overhead finds on the way of the goal Faraoni. Portentous start of the Brianza, Hellas overwhelmed. But it is only for those few seconds because Verona settles down and the game shows balance throughout the first half. During which there are two events to report. The injury of Faraoni (inside Lasagna in the 18 ‘) and the red to Magnani in the 27’. The second would have to be discussed. Referee Cosso takes 3 minutes to go from yellow to red after reviewing the video. The defender’s intervention on Mota is clear, but the ball would have arrived in Montipò and would not have been playable by the Monza center forward.

Goals and tears

The second half stretches the shadow on Hellas who has to defend himself for another 45 ‘in ten. The conclusion of Mota after less than a quarter of an hour should be the preamble to a recovery of Venetian suffering. Monza realizes the numerical superiority at 23 ‘. Pessina attracts two men to the right, leaving Ciurria with a piece of free land that the captain invites him to cross. The low and backward cross is for Carlos Augusto – followed at a distance and late by Hongla and Tameze – who thrusts Montipò with his right. At 30 ‘Mota Carvalho kicks high closing a very good action started from afar. At 40 ‘Sensi must leave the field accompanied in his arms and in tears: Hongla falls on his right ankle and the resulting movement is decidedly ugly. Immediate replacement with Bondo. It will take exams and time, but it could be a long stop for him. At 45 ‘Monza doubles with Colpani. Petagna works a ball alone, enters the area, leans back and finds his partner who puts in Montipò. Di Gregorio’s save from Terracciano in the recovery justifies the presence of Hellas on the pitch, while Bondo touches the third goal in the 51st minute. It ends 2-0 for Palladino’s team who returns to victory after three defeats in a row, leaving the door closed. Crisis open now for Bocchetti’s Verona: eighth knockout in a row and always last place.
