VERONA, Italy (AP) — An inspired Dany Mota scored in each half for Monza to surprise Verona 3-0 and earn its first win in Serie A on Monday.
The Portuguese striker volleyed a superb opener after nine minutes and burst between two defenders to add a second in the 74th.
Alessandro Bianco made it 3-0 with 11 minutes remaining to help Monza rise out of the relegation zone and into 16th spot on the 20-team table.
Monza was the last team to win this season.
Verona has scored more second-half goals than any team bar league leader Napoli but was toothless in front of goal and fell to 13th.
