“Nicola Mosti broke the deadlock for Juve Stabia after a second half of mounting pressure. The build-up featured a saved Hernani effort at 45', a missed Mosti shot at 51', and an Okoro attempt at 54' — all signs of a siege that finally yielded a goal.”
Pivotal“Just one minute after Monza's double substitution — bringing on Bakoune and Zeroli in a bid to change the game — Alvin Okoro struck to make it 2-0, appearing to snuff out any Monza comeback before it had begun.”
Pivotal“Andrea Carboni pulled one back for Monza to make it 2-1, giving the visitors a foothold in the match and setting up a tense final quarter of an hour.”
Pivotal“Substitute Filippo Delli Carri completed Monza's stunning comeback with a goal just moments before the final whistle, rescuing a point from what looked a certain defeat and sparking chaotic scenes — a flurry of yellow cards following in injury time.”

Outstanding performance
Juve Stabia•MidfielderJuve Stabia were the dominant force throughout, controlling 64% of possession, completing 510 passes and generating 46 dangerous attacks to Monza's 27, yet their failure to close out a 2-0 lead cost them all three points in a dramatic finale. The hosts broke the deadlock through Nicola Mosti on 57 minutes following a sustained second-half spell of pressure, and Alvin Okoro doubled the advantage just 11 minutes later — crucially, the second goal arriving within a minute of Monza's double substitution, almost immediately silencing any momentum the visitors might have gained from their changes. Monza, however, refused to fold and their own tactical reshuffle paid dividends: substitute Filippo Delli Carri pulled one back on 77 minutes through Andrea Carboni, before completing a stunning comeback himself at the death on 89 minutes to equalise. For Juve Stabia, the point may feel like a defeat given their territorial superiority; for Monza, it is the sort of resilient late salvage that can galvanise a squad chasing Serie B objectives.
