Törnqvist makes saves before Kouadio strikes
Monza controlled possession in the opening ten minutes, but both teams created chances before the breakthrough. Romano threatened from outside the area for Cagliari, while Dany Mota drew a save from Caprile at the other end.
Törnqvist stopped Nzola with a stretching intervention and also denied Mendy from close range. Those chances went unconverted before Kouadio took Dany Mota’s through ball and finished through Caprile’s legs late in the first half, sending Monza into halftime ahead.
Varela and Robinson extend Monza’s lead
Varela doubled the advantage immediately after the interval, finishing diagonally with his right foot from Ondoa’s pass. Dany Mota then forced another central save from Caprile as Monza continued to create chances after its second goal.
Cagliari had a response through Yerry Mina, whose header was saved by Noel Törnqvist. Robinson made it 3–0 in the 66th minute from Varela’s assist. Paul Mendy subsequently missed from very close range after Alieu Fadera supplied the cross, leaving Cagliari without a goal.
A rebound completes Varela’s double
Colpani struck the post with a curling left-footed effort before Monza added its fourth. Robinson then hit the post with a left-footed shot, and Varela converted the rebound to complete his double and the scoring. His two goals took his league tally to six. The victory also moved Monza to seven points in Serie A.
Cagliari still produced two late chances for Kevin Carlos, supplied separately by Yukinari Sugawara and Alessandro Deiola, but Noel Törnqvist saved both. The defeat ended Cagliari’s four-match unbeaten run; the visitors had conceded no more than once in each previous league fixture.
