Monza beat Torino 1-0 in the Coppa Italia, using a 3-4-2-1 shape to generate the clearer threat despite having 46.0% possession. Torino, arranged in a 5-3-2, controlled 54.0% of the ball and attempted 16 shots, but none were on target. Monza recorded 19 attempts and eight on target, repeatedly testing Torino’s goalkeeper and forcing a demanding defensive performance. Torino’s keeper posted an 87.5% save percentage from eight shots faced, but Monza’s pressure still produced the decisive goal. The contrast lay in shot quality of execution rather than territorial control: Torino had more possession but could not turn it into a single effort on target, while Monza were more direct and accurate around the penalty area. Monza progress in the Coppa Italia; Torino exit the competition.
