09 May 2021 Successful seventh place operation, at least provisionally. Sassuolo, in their fifth victory in their last six games, passes 2-1 at Genoa and rises to 56 points, one more than Roma who must play with Crotone. For the Griffin, who loses the internal unbeaten after eleven rounds, salvation still to be conquered: the points remain 36, 5 more than Benevento third from last. Thus the Sunday lunch match of the 'Luigi Ferraris' of the 35th and fourth last day of the championship.
In Marassi, Pandev and Destro the attacking couple in Ballardini's 3-5-2. De Zerbi with the 4-2-3-1, with Berardi, Djuričič and Traoré behind the 2000 class Raspadori. Referee Mariani of Aprilia.
Immediately work for Perin who in the 4 'with a great reflex foils an attempt at an own goal by Zapata. The rossoblù central on 10 'guesses the right goal but Consiglio denies him the goal. Sassuolo passes instead with the jewel Raspadori, who checks and throws a suggestion from Traoré in the 14th minute. At 17 'Berardi tries, Perin is careful. The Griffin also scored in the 27th minute with a nice header from Zajic who capitalized on a restart by Destro, but after viewing the images Mariani canceled for a previous foul on Locatelli.
At the start of the second half Goldaniga nearly equalized, and then in the 53rd minute hit the crossbar with a header. Immediately before, a big chance for Sassuolo, but Raspadori face to face with Perin is hypnotized by the goalkeeper (52 '). At 66 'the black-green doubling with Berardi who takes advantage of a wrong back pass by Masiello and strikes Perin, signing his sixteenth personal success. Ballardini inserts Scamacca for Destro in the 68th minute and the under 21 striker becomes dangerous in the 83rd minute by engaging Councils. Zappacosta reopens the game in the 85th minute with a great shot at the corner of the posts. The same winger just misses the brace that would be worth the draw with a shot out of very little in the 90 '. The result does not change even with the 4 'of recovery.
