Monza hold Inter 2-2 

Darmian's perfectly-timed finish off a late run put Inter in an advantage. The lead, however, didn't last as Ciurria's curler drew parity. Martinez soon dispossessed Pablo Mari to go 2-1 up. Inter almost sealed the game through a late header, but the goal was denied after a foul on Mari in the area. Monza flooded into Inter's box to fetch an injury-time equalizer.

As per Opta, Martínez has been involved in 11 goals in Serie A in 2022-23 (G8 A3), the joint-most alongside Rafael Leao, Victor Osimhen, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. He has also been involved in seven goals in his last seven games started in Serie A (G5 A2).

Juventus vs Udinese

Udinese lacked the fire in the attacking third, with only two shots on target against a cautious Juventus. A timely stop from Marco Silvestri denied Juventus a lead post-half-time. The Old Lady, however, found an opening in the 86th minute as Federico Chiesa set up Danilo for a close-range finish. Juventus ended up securing their eighth consecutive win in Serie A 2022-23.
