The match at Stadio Brianteo on 2nd March, 2024, saw Serie A sides AC Monza Brianza 1912 and AS Roma face off in what turned out to be a dominant performance for the latter, who bagged a comfortable 4-1 win. So while the scoreline provides a clear picture, let's delve deeper into the match based on the statistics, tactics, and performance factors.

The opening goal came from the home side, AC Monza Brianza 1912, at the 87-minute mark of the game, credited to Andrea Carboni with an assist from Valentin Carboni. This, however, proved to be their only goal of the night, despite having a total of 5 shots on target and 6 corner attempts.

AS Roma quickly found their footing, with Lorenzo Pellegrini reciprocating 6 minutes later with an assist from Romelu Lukaku, marking the beginning of their attacking prowess. Lukaku, then tripled his contribution, scoring a goal himself within 4 minutes and provide an assist later on for the second half goal from Paulo Dybala. It is important to single out Lukaku's performance on the pitch. He was involved in two of the four goals, providing an assist and managing to score himself, demonstrating how pivotal he was to Roma's ever-threatening attack.

Despite Monza having more total shots at 16 as well as 6 corner kicks, compared to Roma's 12 shots and 3 corner kicks, they fell short in converting them into goals. This imperfection in their conversion rate seems to be one of the major decisive factors leading to their downfall.

Analyzing the disciplinary aspect of the match, Roma’s four yellow cards against Monza’s single one reflects more aggressive play from the away team, who committed a total of 18 fouls to Monza's 11. However, neither team received a red card, indicating that fair play was largely maintained.

Additionally, Monza's defense allowed Roma to create effective plays, as evidenced by offside data which shows that the away team found themselves offside on only a single occasion. This statistic seems to indicate that Monza’s defense may have played a relatively high line, allowing Roma to maneuver into threatening positions without the chance of being caught offside multiple times.

In conclusion, Roma demonstrated their attacking capability and effectiveness in converting opportunities, with their 50% shots-on-target-to-goal conversion rate. In contrast, the home team struggled to transform their slight lead in possession, corner kicks, and shots into goals. The match's outcome was decided by a number of factors including aggressive play, effectiveness of attack, and defensive tactics.
