It took a stoppage time penalty for Udinese to salvage a point at home to Monza in the Saturday lunch-time kick-off. Sandi Lovric opened the scoring for the home side on 17 minutes, capping off a swift attack with a clinical finish, and Andrea Sottil's men appeared to be in the ascendancy. Udinese found themselves trailing early in the second half, however, after Andrea Colpani and Nicolò Rovella scored for Monza in the space of eight minutes. Beto was given a last-gasp opportunity to net from the spot, after Ilija Nestorovski was fouled in the box, and duly converted.
