Serie A, Juventus-Monza 2-0 with Goals from Nico and Kolo Muani: Yildiz Sent Off

Milan, April 27 (LaPresse) – Juventus bounces back, but with a bittersweet feeling. The Bianconeri, under Tudor, defeat Monza 2-0 in the late match of the 34th Serie A round with goals from Nico Gonzalez in the 11th minute and Kolo Muani in the 33rd, but they lose Yildiz for the next match against Bologna. This is a crucial three points for Juventus, who temporarily move up to fourth place with 62 points, awaiting the Udinese-Bologna match tomorrow. For Monza, this defeat could already mathematically confirm their relegation to Serie B if Lecce wins against Atalanta in Bergamo tonight. The first half was all Juventus. The score is opened in the 11th minute by Nico Gonzalez, who fires a left-footed shot from 20 meters past Turati. Kolo Muani doubles the lead in the 33rd minute with a low right-foot shot into the corner after a great assist from Thuram. Everything seemed to be going the right way for Tudor's team, but just before halftime, Yildiz was sent off for a raised arm against an opponent, a decision made after a VAR review. The Turkish player will miss the next game against Bologna, a crucial match for Champions League hopes. Forced to play the second half with one man down, Juventus tried to control Monza's efforts to make a comeback. The Monza players, especially through aerial balls, created some danger, but it was Juventus who nearly scored a third on the counterattack, once again through Nico Gonzalez.
