Italian side suffer just a second loss in their last 10 contests as visitors secure bonus-point win
Benetton drew first blood in the fifth minute when Filippo Drago broke through the Munster defensive line and he quickly offloaded to Jacob Umaga, who in turn fed Zanon to motor over in the left corner.
Munster got themselves back into the game almost immediately when Calvin Nash collected his own chip forward and with fullback Smith out of position, an inside pass to Patterson gave the scrumhalf a simple try with Carbery converting. Umaga restored the Benetton lead on the stroke of half-time when he sent a straightforward penalty from in front of the posts over for a 15-14 lead.Munster sent the ball down the line from a ruck just outside the Benetton 22 and Hodnett then burst through two poor tackle attempts to run in under the posts and give Carbery an easy conversion.
