Nikola Vlasic (53), raising his score to 41 points, temporarily in tenth place.
Monza continued its good results, becoming ninth overall by defeating its guest, Cagliari, with a goal scored in the 42nd minute by Daniele Maldini, the son of Milan legend and former Italian national team player Paolo Maldini.
