In the Serie A match that took place on 2nd April 2023 at Stadio Brianteo, AC Monza Brianza 1912 faced a significant defeat against Lazio with a score of 2-0. Despite having home-field advantage, AC Monza was unable to make even a single goal throughout the 90 minutes of play against Lazio's sturdy defence.

Lazio's goals came from individuals Pedro Rodriguez and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the first and second halves respectively. Rodriguez's goal came very early into the game at the 12:44-minute mark, which put immediate pressure on AC Monza. This might have hindered Monza's gameplan and compelled them into an unfamiliar playing turf. The second goal by Milinkovic-Savic at 55:21 further put Lazio ahead, increasing the difficulty level for Monza.

In terms of shooting efficiency, both teams had almost the same shots on target - AC Monza with 3 and Lazio with 4. However, Lazio showed better precision on capitalizing its opportunities, scoring two goals from those four shots on target. Meanwhile, Monza had a higher number of shots off target, with 8 compared to Lazio’s 4. This suggests that Monza had serious issues with their finishing abilities.

The number of corner kicks each team had gives insight into their offensive pressure. AC Monza led in this aspect with 8 corners compared to Lazio's 3. Despite this statistic shows Monza's offensive aggressiveness, they were unable to convert any of these opportunities into goals.

Monza also committed significantly more fouls with 13 compared to Lazio's 8. The increased aggression from Monza led to 5 yellow cards against them, all of which were issued in the second half. This shows discipline problems within Monza’s players in the heat of the match, which will be a concern for their coach.

In contrast, Lazio kept their cool and only got 2 yellow cards, indicating better game conduct and discipline. These cards were also drawn out later in the match which means their defence remained sturdy and clean early on.

In conclusion, Lazio's victory was clearly down to their efficiency in front of the goal, combined with better discipline, despite facing more offensive pressure from Monza. Meanwhile, AC Monza Brianza 1912’s inability to convert shots into goals and their poor discipline were their major drawbacks in the game.
