Monza, who already secured their 12th place in the standings, made the early threats, with Samuele Birindelli narrowly missing a diving header and Andrea Colpani testing Mattia Perin with a free kick.

Nicolò Fagioli, returning from an eight-month gambling ban, nearly opened the scoring with a shot that hit the crossbar.

But Juventus succeeded in breaking the deadlock when Federico Chiesa capitalized on a deflection off Danilo D’Ambrosio, driving the ball into the net from a tight angle.

Two minutes later, Alex Sandro scored with a header from Fagioli’s corner, marking his farewell in style.
