Monza secured a crucial victory in the first leg of the Serie B playoff final, defeating Catanzaro 2-0. The decisive goals were scored by Hernani in the 77th minute and Caso in the 89th, both coming off the bench in the second half. The match took place at the Ceravolo Stadium, where the Brianzoli displayed great determination and skill. With this victory, Monza has one foot in Serie A, but they will face a tough return leg. Catanzaro, now needing to win by three goals, will look to overturn the result in the next match. Hernani expressed his satisfaction with the goal and emphasized the importance of not letting their guard down. Coach Paolo Bianco also commented on the team's positive performance, warning that the return leg will be another battle. The return match is scheduled for Friday, May 29, at 8 PM at the U-Power Stadium, where Monza will need to defend their accumulated lead.
