00:00It's becoming must-win territory for Monza, the Bente Gaudi is where they hope to record their first victory of the season.
00:08We're up and running here on this Monday evening.
00:13Dani Mota.
00:16In comes the cross from Dani Mota, easy enough for Chilardi to deal with.
00:20He was with Sampdoria on loan last season.
00:31Dani!
00:33Dani Mota trying to hold off Braderich.
00:42Good ball from Carboni, Caprari on the half-turn, that's a clever ball for Dani Mota!
00:50Magnificent goal.
00:54He is one player who has impressed in the early portion of this season for Monza.
01:00And that is as good a goal as his header against Inter.
01:06Caprari did well, the vision was excellent.
01:09But to strike that ball on the volley when it was dropping out of the sky under the floodlights like that is supreme technique.
01:19Went through the legs of Braderich as well, that's the sort of bit of good fortune you need when you're down near the bottom as Monza are.
01:28And maybe...
01:36Duda takes the corner, could have gone anywhere.
01:39It's Djuric behind Pedro Pereira in the end.
01:48Taurati making sure the players stay switched on.
01:51He said bravo Pedrito there, well done.
01:54Little Pedro.
01:59Another Duda corner.
02:02And it's pushed away, Ghilardi's header kept out by Taurati.
02:08Back in by Lazovic, another Verona corner, they look threatening.
02:13Chatual with the cross, Taurati didn't get there.
02:16This is Tenkstedt.
02:19Looking for space to manoeuvre, Tenkstedt with the nutmeg!
02:23And he nearly bent it in.
02:25That would have been some goal.
02:29Referee's about to blow for half-time.
02:34Monza are on course for their first win of the season, they're only halfway towards completing the job.
02:4012 points prior to this evening.
02:45Saw that on the opening weekend of the season when it was goalless against Napoli.
02:49They scored three second-half goals to beat the Partenope.
02:52It's the only loss that Napoli have had all season.
02:55Now Tenkstedt.
02:58Finding Darko Lazovic.
03:00Nearly broke the way of Tenkstedt.
03:02Napoli did well because Taurati's save wasn't the best.
03:06Belayan.
03:08Good start to the second half, this for Verona.
03:11Lazovic.
03:12Radaric went down off the ball, Verona free kick.
03:15Danny Mota has to apologise.
03:18Verona looking to make a fast start in the second half.
03:22In by Suslov.
03:23Magnani with the header, bounced over the crossbar.
03:32Taken short by Monza.
03:34Caprari with the cross.
03:35And Pablo Mari somehow kept quiet by Ghilardi.
03:39Fine defending.
03:42Seem to be favourite just to apply the finish there, the Spaniard.
03:46How well did Ghilardi do?
03:48How well did Ghilardi do?
03:51Stick out a leg.
03:55And a void can signal an own goal.
04:05In by Caprari.
04:06Djuric!
04:09And cleared by Tenkstedt.
04:11Nearly a goal scoring return to Verona for Milan Djuric.
04:19That's an ungainly challenge from Kiriakopoulos.
04:26Pizzo.
04:28Djuric.
04:29Pedro Pereira, good football from Monza.
04:31They can switch it now for Kiriakopoulos.
04:37Kiriakopoulos has still got it.
04:39And he goes for goal!
04:41He's caught the crossbar.
04:44The second goal just won't come for Monza.
04:47And Kiriakopoulos asking for divine intervention.
04:52Struck it so purely.
04:54Montipo, well beaten.
04:58And he couldn't have gone any closer without scoring there.
05:01Jorgos Kiriakopoulos.
05:05In by Braderich.
05:07Nigromento climbed but it was a token effort.
05:10This is Kasper Tenkstedt.
05:12Kastanos has gambled.
05:13It's not clear.
05:14Serdar!
05:16Pablo Mari in the way of the shot.
05:20Nigromento was waiting.
05:21Pedro Pereira got it clear.
05:22So too did Kiriakopoulos.
05:24Milan Djuric.
05:27No foul on him.
05:28Again he pleads his case in the direction of the referee.
05:32Monza want to break in place so they can get D'Ambrosio and Bianco on the pitch.
05:36But not whilst they're defending a set piece.
05:38Serdar.
05:40That was a risk from Pablo Mari on Sar.
05:43Just seemed to barge him in the back on the edge of the box.
05:47Sar's won it back like a man possessed.
05:49This is Kastanos.
05:51And again Turati with some unconvincing goalkeeping.
05:59Ghilardi.
06:03He was tripped.
06:04By Gianluca Caprari.
06:08We'll play a defensive minded right wing back.
06:12Roll.
06:14Bianco will be asked to provide energy in the middle of the park.
06:19Tough tackling too.
06:22The latest set piece from Praderic.
06:24Ghilardi!
06:25That's a better save.
06:28Turati getting down smartly to his left.
06:39Djuric with the flick on.
06:40Danny Mota's in the clear to win it!
06:44Danny Mota again.
06:48It's his second of the night.
06:51Turati gets the applause.
06:53It's route one from Monza.
06:56Turati sought out Djuric.
06:58And Danny Mota gambled on the flick on.
07:01Timing his run to perfection.
07:03And he still had the presence of mind to take a touch away from Praderic.
07:08And poke it under Lorenzo Montipone.
07:13Monza have shown that they can hurt Verona in several different ways.
07:22They have had a really challenging run of fixtures.
07:25Monza, not that they wanted to use that as an excuse.
07:28There's another Djuric flick on.
07:30Bianco's after him.
07:31Bianco gets there.
07:33And that will make sure of it.
07:35Kilometres defending from Verona.
07:37Djuric wreaking havoc with his physicality again.
07:41And it's Alessandro Bianco who scores.
07:48At this level.
07:54Faraioli's just come on.
07:56The header was short.
07:57Montipone couldn't get there.
08:00And Bianco showed the desire to latch on to it.
08:05And all he had to do then was make contact with it.
08:12Far too easy for Monza.
08:15And if there are any doubts as to whether they're going to win their first match.
08:19They have now been definitively dispelled by Alessandro Bianco.
08:25This is Castanos.
08:27Belayan.
08:31It's over ball.
08:32Faraioli.
08:34First touch was good.
08:35The finish was ragged.
08:41Belayan.
08:43Still Belayan was dragging it wide.
08:47Monza about to celebrate here.
08:51It's taken them seven months.
08:53It's taken them seven months.
08:54But Monza finally win again in Serie A.
08:57Alessandro Nesta wins for the first time in the Italian top flight as a coach.
09:02At the eighth time of asking this season.
09:04Monza record maximum points.
09:07And they did so in some style.
09:09Three goals without reply at the Mentegardi.
