4 ‘Locatelli (S), 43’ Lazovic (F), 51 ‘Djuricic (S), 79’ Dimarco (F), 81 ‘Traoré (S)
Five goals in total, in the end only Sassuolo smiles and ends a dry month of victories and beats Verona 3-2. An emotional game for Mapei, with a good Hellas recovering the disadvantage twice but then excessively frantic and knocked out by Traoré’s goal with nine minutes remaining. It is a success that is worth twice as much for De Zerbi because it also gives the advancement in the Gialloblù in the classification and the -7 from the seventh place of Lazio that means Europe. Second consecutive stop by Juric, sent off in the final: a great Lazovic, who scored a goal and an assist, is not enough, due to the fragility that the defensive phase shows today. After only 18 crosses suffered in the first 19 games, 14 are already picked up in the second half of the round.
Verona recovers twice, Traoré solves it in minute 81
De Zerbi changes five regarding the knockout of Udine, recovering Chiriches in defense. Caputo, Djuricic and Defrel return from the first minute, with Berardi completing the trocar. Confirmed as full-backs Toljan and Kyriakopoulos, Obiang beats López in midfield. Juric confirms, on the other hand, in block the 11 of last week, with Lasagna as the only tip and supported from behind by Barak and Zaccagni. Lazovic wins the ballot with Dimarco. Four laps of the clock and Sassuolo immediately took the lead. Berardi catches Defrel in the middle, the Frenchman guards the ball and leans back for Locatelli’s winning spot outside the penalty area. Verona reacts first with a header from Barak in which he opposes the great Consiglio, then with Faraoni who sensationally loses the time of the shot from inside the small area. The hosts also try to use set pieces to widen the gap, but Ferrari’s header is elevated for a corner thanks to a good intervention from Silvestri. The greens and blacks tame the race as the minutes go by, then at half an hour here is the glow that takes Berardi one step from the encore. The winger returns with a feint on his weak foot, the right, and crosses the far post at the far post, losing the mirror to a mustache. Hellas does not seem to be able to pocket the rival defense, but at the end of time they take advantage of a small spot from Sassuolo and find the 1-1: great progression of pharaohs that he takes in the middle of the other end, Lazovic, cold and lethal with the right on the near post.
Juric inserts Dimarco at the start of the second half and protests a contact on the edge of the penalty area between Ferrari and Lazovic, while on the other side Sassuolo hits the first offensive. Triangulation that leads to the center of Kyriakopoulos, rejected in the absence of the defense and in ambush is Djuricic who, with the tip, brings his team forward. Verona this time has a hard time responding to the blow immediately and hardly ever manages to worry the goalkeeper, even after a couple of moves from his coach’s bench. De Zerbi’s team missed opportunities to close it out, getting dangerous with Berardi’s free kick and freshman Traoré’s right-footed shot. The Gialloblù join forces for the last attacks and in the 79th minute they reach the par again, with the splendid combination closed by the center of Lazovic and the fly of Dimarco, to cross. Ferrari fails to dodge the net, as happened a minute earlier when Barak’s balloon neutralized at the goal line. Drawn from enthusiasm, however, Verona loses his measures and, first, concedes the easy ball on goal to Berardi, walled in a corner by Dawidowicz. Then, in the same corner, Traoré is in charge of solving a scrum in the area and giving the third advantage of the afternoon to the Emilianos. It is the goal that definitely breaks the balance, because the final forcing of the guests does not produce particular occasions: Sassuolo rejoices with the triple whistle and dreams of Europe again.
