​Serie A | Monza 2-3 Udinese: Errors prove costly against clinical FriulaniUdinese made the most of Monza errors at both ends of the field, securing a morale-boosting 3-2 victory away including a Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scorcher.The hosts needed to shake off a 4-1 opening day defeat to Inter, but were still missing injured Matteo Pessina, Patrick Ciurria, Leonardo Colombo and Idrissa Touré, though Patrick Cutrone returned. The Friulani managed to hold Como 1-1 in their first match, but it cost them injuries to Nicolò Zaniolo and Matteo Palma, joining Alessandro Zanoli and Giorgi Chakvetadze on the treatment table. At least Keinan Davis was back after a muscular issue to lead the attack.See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 29: Andrea Colpani of Monza celebrates scoring his team’s first goal with teammate Patrick Cutrone during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Udinese Calcio at U-Power Stadium on August 29, 2026 in Monza, Italy.

Demba Thiam was at fault for the first, getting it all wrong on the Hassane Kamara snapshot from distance after a corner was cleared, letting the finish bend his gloves back.He could in fairness do little against the second in very similar circumstances, as this time the corner fell to Jurgen Ekkelenkamp for a genuine screamer from the edge of the area.MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 29: Gustavo Varela of Monza celebrates scoring his team’s second goal during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Udinese Calcio at U-Power Stadium on August 29, 2026 in Monza, Italy.
