Monza reached its first target by qualifying for the A2 Italian Cup final four with two games to spare. And it will be played on home soil on January 11 and 12. The other teams will be the leader, Padova, Matera, tied on points with Monza, while fourth Sora is very close to take the final spot as Ortona stands 5 points behind with two games to play.

“We have reached our first targets with two games in hand and without having even played – said sport director Claudio Bonati as Monza was rested in the last round – More seriously, now we have to focus on getting the best possible results in the last two games, it’s not only important to get there but also how you get there”.
