Monza promoted to Serie A following playoff victory

Monza has secured promotion to the Italian Serie A one year after their relegation. In the Serie B promotion playoffs, they faced Catanzaro over two legs. Monza won the first leg 2-0 in Calabria on May 24, but Catanzaro responded with a 2-0 victory in the return match on May 29, with goals from Felipe Jack and Frosini. Because the aggregate score was tied, Monza earned promotion based on their higher league finish, ranking 3rd with 76 points compared to Catanzaro's 5th place with 59 points. This marks Monza's fourth appearance in the top flight in their history. They join Venezia and Frosinone, who secured direct promotion earlier. While Catanzaro pressed for a third goal to complete an upset, they were unable to score, resulting in Monza's qualification without the need for extra time or penalties.
