         AC Milan players celebrate scoring against Monza Junior Messias' goal secured a 1-0 win for AC Milan against Monza, propelling the team into the top four of Serie A. Monza, who came into the game as the only unbeaten team in 2023, had a fast start and threatened Milan's defense twice. However, Messias fired the ball into the net just after the half-hour mark, putting Milan in the lead. Despite their efforts, Monza failed to equalize and Silvion Berlusconi, their owner and former Milan owner, was unable to get a win over his former club.
