Monza claims first Serie A win with Varela's two goals against Sassuolo

Summary

Monza secured their first Serie A victory of the season on September 18, 2026, defeating Sassuolo 2-1 at U-Power Stadium. Gustavo Varela scored both goals for Monza, including a penalty kick, while Vasilije Adzic netted a late free kick to narrow the gap. The win alleviates some pressure from Monza's coach Ivan Juric, who had just one point from the first four rounds. Sassuolo, despite having seven points from their last three games, struggled with injuries affecting key players. Monza's next challenge will be to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
