“Demba Thiam is booked for time wasting, a telling sign of Juve Stabia's defensive mindset as the match ground towards what seemed like a goalless draw.”
“Patrick Cutrone breaks the deadlock for Monza after a goalless 84 minutes, converting to make it 1-0 and finally separating two evenly-matched sides.”
Pivotal“Rareș Burnete — already on a yellow card — equalises for Juve Stabia at 90' to make it 1-1, stunning Monza and appearing to rescue a point for the visitors.”

Outstanding performance
Monza•AttackerMonza earned a dramatic 2-1 victory over Juve Stabia in a match that was defined almost entirely by its final ten minutes. Juve Stabia dominated possession with 55% of the ball and kept Monza largely at bay through disciplined defensive organisation, yet produced just one shot on target all night — a stat that ultimately proved fatal. Monza, despite seeing less of the ball, were more dangerous when it mattered, registering 14 shots to Stabia's six and creating two big chances. The match's entire narrative was written in the 85th and 90th minutes: substitute Patrick Cutrone broke the deadlock five minutes from time, only for Rareș Burnete — himself on a yellow card — to immediately equalise at 90', before Cutrone completed a stunning personal turnaround by restoring Monza's lead in the same minute. For Monza, the win provides crucial momentum in their Serie B campaign; for Juve Stabia, a dominant night in possession yielded nothing, and the manner of the collapse will sting badly.
