By losing (4-2) to Sassuolo, Juventus Turin misses the possibility of taking control of Serie A. Worse, the Old Lady is no longer even on the podium.
This Saturday, at the start of the evening, Juventus Turin traveled to the Sassuolo pitch, on the occasion of the fifth day of Serie A. Shortly before the quarter of an hour of play, Armand Laurienté opened the scoring in favor of the Blacks and Green. The French winger, former FC Lorient player, surprised Wojciech Szczęsny with a shot from the right (1-0, 12th). The Polish goalkeeper was guilty of a gross handball error.

After a cross from Frederico Chiesa, Matías Viña threw himself and scored against him, allowing the Old Lady to come back to the score (1-1, 21st). A few moments before half-time, Domenico Berardi allowed US Sassuolo to regain the advantage, with a clear left-footed strike (2-1, 41st).

In the second half, Frederico Chiesa tied the two teams with his right foot, scoring his fourth goal of the season (2-2, 78th). A few moments later, center forward Andrea Pinamonti victoriously resumed a strike from Laurienté repelled by Szczesny (3-2, 82nd). In stoppage time, Frederico Gatti scored against his side by making a huge mistake. The club based in Emilia-Romagna thus increased the score and ensured the victory (4-2, 90th+5).
