– Junior Messias scored as AC Milan grabbed a 1-0 win at Monza in a lively Serie A clash on Saturday, sending Stefano Pioli’s side back into a Champions League qualification spot.
– Messias put Milan in front just after the half-hour mark, lashing home a ball that Monza keeper Michele Di Gregorio could only touch with the tip of his gloves.
– Monza were increasingly persistent in the closing 15 minutes but none of their numerous chances managed to change the scoreline.

– The win provisionally moved Milan up two places to third on 44 points, level with Inter who host ninth-placed Udinese later on Saturday. Monza, who had been without a league loss in the whole of 2023, dropped to 11th on 29 points.
Third win in 8 days ❤️🖤#MonzaMilan 0-1 #SempreMilan
