The game was in a deadlock until the 83rd minute when Dany Mota scored the only goal after Monza moved the ball from the back-left pocket of the pitch all the way up the field.

The move ended when Mota, who received a square pass from Pedro Pereira, sent the ball into the back post with a low shot.
