Đurić scores twice as Monza hits Lazio's Champions League hopes in 2

MILAN (AP) — Milan Đurić scored twice,Đurić including a stoppage-time equalizer, as Monza held Lazio 2-2 in Serie A on Saturday to hinder the capital club’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

The result ended Lazio’s four-match winning run and left Igor Tudor’s side seventh, three points behind Roma, which occupies fifth place and the final Champions League qualifying position after Italy earned an extra spot in next season’s competition.

Sixth-place Atalanta is only a point ahead of Lazio but has played two fewer matches.

At the other end of the table, relegation-threatened Sassuolo recorded a surprise — but crucial — 1-0 victory over newly crowned Serie A champion Inter Milan.

Things appeared to be going to plan for Lazio when it took the lead in the 11th minute. Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio did brilliantly to palm Daichi Kamada’s deflected strike onto the bar but Ciro Immobile tapped in the rebound.
