Đurić scores twice as Monza hits Lazio's Champions League hopes in 2-2 draw. Inter loses at Sassuolo

Milan Đurić scored twice, 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.
