23 October 2020The Sassuolo-revelation wastes the chance to bypass Milan (at least until Monday) and remain alone at the top of the championship: at the 'Mapei', in the first advance of the fifth day, a daring 3-3 against Torino, which throws away in the final two goals ahead.

For the grenades, returning from three consecutive defeats (they have a game to recover, with Genoa), the first point of the season arrives that finally moves the ranking.

Even if the return home is full of regrets.



Nice first half for Giampaolo's team, deservedly ahead.

A Ferrari from a corner flies over the crossbar (5 '), then a great Consiglio saves the hosts twice: on the 9' foot parathon on Verdi's touch below, on the 18 'splendid opposition on Meitè's close right.

The maneuver of the neroverdi is not very fluid, the first real ring arrives at 27 'with Berardi's sharp left from outside the area: Sirigu says no.

Six laps of hands and Toro passes (33 '): cross from the right by Vojvoda, Chiriches misses the intervention, the Pole Linetty stamps from a few meters.



Burst opportunities at the beginning of the recovery.

Chiriches walled on the most beautiful by Vojvoda (51 '), grenade wheel three times very close to doubling: Reactive advice on Belotti's header (54'), at 57 'the Emilian goalkeeper still avoids the worst by saving on Verdì (botta from a few steps) and taking off a few seconds on the aerial take-off again of the 'Gallo' Belotti.

Sparkling match, Sassuolo risks something but does not give up attacking as it is in its philosophy.

Boga grace Sirigu, who went out empty (69 '), in the 71st minute on a dirty cross from Muldur, Djuricic bags the equal with a fine heel strike.

From there, a crazy ending takes place.

On a long pass, Belotti wins the duel with Chiriches in the area and strikes the innocent Consiglio (77 ').

Ball in the center and Toro's 1-2 becomes even 1-3 (79 '): this time Bellotti wears the role of the assist man and serves Lukic, whose winning diagonal seems to bring the curtain down on the match.

Error, because the neroverdi are still alive.

At 84 'the Romanian Chiriches reduces the deficit with an amazing long distance surface-to-air missile that removes the cobwebs from the intersection, at 85' Caputo heads the 3-3 on a cross from Berardi.

Overdose of emotions for a heart-pounding challenge.
