Como Don Finish Monza Matter as Dem Beat Dem 3-1 for Match

MONZA, Italy — In a thrilling Serie A clash on April 5, 2025, Como secured a 3-1 victory over Monza, sending the hosts closer to relegation.

The match, held at U-Power Stadium, saw Como’s Mërgim Vojvoda score in the 50th minute, pushing their lead after a first-half goal by Jonathan Ikoné and another from Assane Diao, who struck in the 38th minute.

Monza opened the scoring early when Dany Mota found the net in the 4th minute, but Como quickly responded, demonstrating their fighting spirit throughout the match. Mota’s goal was a left-footed shot from the center of the box assisted by Georgios Kyriakopoulos.

Como’s first equalizer came through Ikoné, who scored in the 15th minute, converting a left-footed shot from the right side of the box. This goal was crucial in establishing Como’s dominance before heading into halftime with the score at 2-1.

The second half saw Como further capitalize on Monza’s defensive weaknesses. Vojvoda’s striking skill was evident when he converted a cross from Maxence Caqueret to seal the match in the 50th minute.

Despite Monza’s attempts to claw back, including a couple of near misses and strong shots from Dany Mota and Keita Baldé, the visitors’ defense held firm. Monza’s manager, Salvatore Bocchetti, faced criticism for his tactics, as the team was unable to convert their chances into goals.

“We gave it our all, but we need to be sharper in front of goal,” Bocchetti said post-match. “It’s a difficult moment for the team, but we will keep fighting until the end.”

Como, under new management, has shown an impressive attacking style this season, and their performance against Monza was another testament to their creative football, making them one of the most exciting teams in Serie A.

“This win is important for our confidence,” Como’s coach said. “We have been working hard, and I am proud of the team’s resilience and performance today.”

Looking ahead, Monza’s relegation troubles are growing, as they sit 10 points adrift of safety after this defeat. Como is positioned comfortably in mid-table, aiming to finish the season strong.
