06 November 2020 Sassuolo again misses the dream of flying alone to the top of the standings (even if only for a few hours).
Udinese imposes a deserved equal to Reggio Emilia, where the advance of the seventh day ends without goals.
The neroverdi rise to one point behind leaders Milan;
the Friulians are third last, but now with some more certainty.
Berardi and Caputo are back, absent in Naples, among the 11 of De Zerbi. Gotti relies on Pussetto and Okaka as tips for his 3-5-2. Not a great first half at 'Mapei', where Udinese seem more enterprising with interesting textures woven by De Paul's feet. No thrills for the goalkeepers, instead it scares a head to head between Arslan and Rogerio. The German from Udinese remains on the ground with a conspicuous cut to his forehead and, after being medicated, will remain on the pitch with a flashy turban. Sassuolo tries to change pace in the second half, but the Friulians don't tremble and come back with continuity. The entries of Muldur and then Defrel in Sassuolo (who sports a blue suit in honor of the national team that will play in Reggio Emilia on Sunday 15 against Poland) do not affect what De Zerbi expected. The coach decides to replace Caputo, unusually unrelated to the game plots, with Raspadori. It is perhaps the best snapshot of the green-and-black game. Udinese do theirs and fully deserve the point earned.
