Monza vs Atalanta

Atalanta won 1-0 at Monza on Sunday, taking their first league victory on the road this season and leaving the hosts in the bottom three despite a first half they controlled. Monza had 13 shots to two before the break and Marco Carnesecchi made four saves in about 40 seconds around the 25th minute, stopping Gustavo Varela among others. It stayed 0-0. Four minutes into the second half Lorenzo Bernasconi crossed from the left, goalkeeper Noel Tornqvist only got a hand to it, and Nikola Krstovic tapped in from close range in the 49th minute. There was no penalty for Monza, either when Eddy Kouadio went down early in the second half or when Andrea Colpani appealed in added time. Coach Ivan Juric was sent off in the 94th minute for protesting. The win was Atalanta's first in the league since 12 October and lifts them to 11th on 14 points. Monza have now lost four in a row, sit 18th on 7 points, and have not beaten Atalanta at home since 1999.
