At the Centro Sportivo Silvio and Luigi Berlusconi-Monzello, the match between AC Monza and Juventus FC ends in a 1-1 draw, a fixture valid for the eighth matchday of the Primavera 1 championship.
The first minutes of the game are very balanced: both teams are feeling each other out, circulating the ball quickly and positioning well on the field.
The first chance of the match comes at 12' and unlocks the score in favor of Monza. The action starts from Scaramelli, who protects the ball well in the midfield and then switches it to the right wing to Bagnaschi. The captain of the biancorossi crosses a first-time, cut ball into the center of the box, which Mout heads into the net from the second post with a perfect header.
Juventus reacts immediately: at 16', Finocchiaro shoots first-time with his right foot from inside the penalty area, but Strajnar is very good at closing the door for the bianconeri's number 10.
The attitude of the brianzoli is perfect and confirms the team's continuous growth. The Monza defense is attentive, focused and leaves no space.
At 36', Strajnar has to fly to corner a very dangerous cross-shot by Leone that was about to find its way under the crossbar. Shortly after, at 38', Juventus equalizes thanks to a powerful long-range shot by Tiozzo that finds its way into the bottom corner.
At 42', Finocchiaro receives a pass on the left, dribbles inward and hits a strong shot with his right foot: the ball goes just over the crossbar. This is the last opportunity of the first half, which ends 1-1.
The second half begins immediately with Monza pushing forward: after just a minute, Fogliaro receives from Ballabio and shoots on goal, but Huli responds.
At 9', Fogliaro is again dangerous with a headed attempt from a cross by Attinasi. Huli is attentive once more.
Both teams continue to maintain a high rhythm and press intensely, offering a beautiful match for everyone present.
At 31', the duo Fogliaro-Attinasi tries again, but this time with roles reversed: Fogliaro dribbles to the edge of the area and then lays it off for the overlapping Attinasi, who fires a powerful left-foot shot that goes just wide of the post.
Monza presses and gets very close to taking the lead at 34'. After a scramble in the penalty area, Fogliaro lays the ball off to Ballabio: the midfielder hits a splendid shot, but Huli makes a truly miraculous save, resulting in a corner.
At 39', Juventus also creates a dangerous chance with the new substitute Lopez Comellas, who shoots high from a good position.
The hosts continue to attack relentlessly, but neither Castelli nor Villa manage to break through the Juventus defensive wall in the final minutes. The match ends in a 1-1 draw.
In the next round, scheduled for Saturday, October 25th at 3:00 PM, AC Monza AC Monza will face SSC Napoli.
