Serie B, Benevento beats Monza (3-1) and is second

Four goals, two reds, a penalty. Everything happens to Vigorito and Benevento wins 3-1 against Monza, left in nine due to the expulsions of Mazzitelli and D’Alessandro in the first half. Stroppa gives up fighting, with a penalty scored by Valoti at the beginning of the second half and some offensive sorties.

Some hope, nothing more. The Campania players have an easy life: in 11 against 9, in fact, Roberto Insigne, Tello and Moncini extend Monza and jump to second place together with Brescia, 4 behind Pisa.

Two reds

Ready, go and it’s time to score. Insigne takes advantage of a string of errors of the Monza defense and beats Di Gregorio with the right after 7 ‘. A recap: Donati misses a heel shot in mid-court, Tello takes advantage and launches Insigne, who uses a detour to jump Caldirola and throw her in. Fourth goal in the league for him. A few minutes later Roberto also earns a penalty, but the Var takes it away from him. Yellow card for simulation. And in half an hour Monza remains in 9: first Mazzitelli is thrown out, sent off for double yellow (28 ‘), and then D’Alessandro, who gets a direct red for an intervention on Moncini launched at the net (37’) . Benevento took advantage immediately and doubled with Tello, good at pushing it into the net from inside the area on the development of a corner kick (40 ‘).

Moncini goal

The second half deludes Monza. Valoti transforms the penalty – hand ball by Tello – and Stroppa calls the company. A few sortie, a couple of lunges, but drawing is tough, so Benevento drops the trio with Moncini (66 ‘). Masciangelo cross from the left and header from a true robber. The former Spal striker had not scored in Serie B since 31 July 2020, the year of promotion to Serie A with Pippo Inzaghi on the bench. From there he had only scored three goals in the Italian Cup. Today he returned from 1 ‘after the Lapadula case, stinging immediately. Caserta thanks and enjoys the fifth victory in a row, also giving the debut in B to the eighteen year old Bruno Umile, a winger who grew up in the club. Monza, on the other hand, interrupts a streak of ten useful results. He is now sixth at 31 points.
