.
At the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, Sassuolo’s narrow victory beats Fiorentina 1-0 and breaks its five-game unbeaten streak.
The neroverdi score after 9 minutes: Pedersen crosses low from the left, ball to Pinamonti who flat footed pierces Terracciano. On 19’ double nullified for the Emiliani: from Thorstvedt to Toljan, right footer that Berardi deflects into the goal but from an offside position.
The excitement of the first half ends here. In the second half, on 48’ another goal cancelled out for the hosts: Ferrari’s turn bricked by Mandragora but according to the referee disturbed by Enrique after the VAR consultation, Thorstvedt’s right-footed turn into the net therefore rivals useless.
Fiorentina had a chance to equalize in 64’with a penalty awarded for a hand foul by Ferrari in the box on Milenkovic’s header but Bonaventura had his shot parried from the penalty spot by Consigli. At 66’ a goal was also cancelled out for the Viola: Quarta scored in offside after a cross hit by Duncan with a deflection by Thorstvedt.
At 70’ double chance for the guests: cross by Kayode, Consigli goes butterfly and Ferrari saves on the line an acrobatic turn by Beltran. Immediately after Duncan crosses from the siistra, Milenkovic’s smash header, Consigli clears but Nzola rebounds wide. Seven minutes of recovery are not enough for Fiorentina, at the last second Ikone puts high from two steps but offside.
