Monza – Udinese

Monza’s home defeat at the hands of Udinese ended 2‑3, leaving the hosts still rooted to the bottom of the table in 18th place with just one point from four games, having scored six and conceded eleven. Udinese’s win lifted them to 13th, three places higher, with four points after a balanced record of one win, one draw and one loss and an even goal difference of five each. The three‑goal thriller reversed the only previous meeting between the two sides this season, a game Udinese had already won. The result not only widened the gap between the struggling Serie A newcomers and the mid‑table side but also underscored Udinese’s growing momentum as they chase a European spot.
