"A wonderful evening , we fought for a long year, we finally reached a historic milestone . Monza had never been in Serie A since 1912, we got there, it's a wonderful thing for Monza, for all of us and for the citizens of Brianza ".
With these words Silvio Berlusconi celebrated the first, memorable promotion of his Monza in the top flight of Italian football .
The Brianza team in fact rises from B thanks to the victory against Pisa in the playoff final of the cadeteria, at the end of a crackling match full of twists.
After winning the first leg at home 2-1, the team coached by Giovanni Stroppa was forced into extra time by the Tuscans, who closed the regular 90 minutes with a 3-2 lead.
In the extra-time, however, the goals of Marrone and Gytkjaer allowed the red and white to triumph and celebrate a dream promotion.
In addition to Monza, the already promoted Cremonese and Lecce will play the 2022-2023 Serie A championship, which will be "replaced" in the cadeteria by Venice, Genoa and Cagliari .
