Highlights

Cagliari arrived on a four-match unbeaten run, but that sequence came to a halt as they fell behind on 39 minutes through Eddy Kouadio, assisted by Dany Mota. Gustavo Varela added a second right after the restart, assisted by Foe Ondoa, before Jay Robinson netted on 66 minutes following an assist from Varela. Varela rounded off the scoring in the 79th minute, capping an outstanding performance that earned him a stellar 9.7 rating, while Kouadio also excelled with an 8.6 rating. Despite enjoying 55 percent possession and registering 16 shots, the visitors could not find a breakthrough, whereas Monza made the most of their 14 attempts and six shots on target to generate an expected goals total of 2.08.
Monza had experienced a rocky start to the term, managing just one victory from their opening six fixtures and sitting down in 15th place in the table. Meanwhile, Cagliari had put together four wins from six matches to occupy seventh spot, boasting a flawless away record with three straight victories on the road earlier in the competition. However, previous encounters offered little comfort for the visitors, including a 1-0 defeat at this stadium in March 2024 and a 2-1 loss in January 2025.
The outcome lifted Monza two places in the standings to 13th, putting them 12 points behind table-leaders Inter. Cagliari remained six points adrift of the summit after suffering their first away reverse of the term.
Monza travel away to face Torino on 23 October.
