SASSUOLO-Milan 3-1! Laurienté network.
High recovery by Tressoldi, ball to Defrel who immediately turns it into the area for Laurienté. The Frenchman has time and space to place his right foot behind Sportiello. The Milan goalkeeper can only graze the ball and collect it from the bottom of the bag.
Sassuolo-MILAN 2-1 in the 20th minute! Leao network.
Leao's right-left to slip into the area between Tressoldi and Erlic, then a flat right to put Consigli in the far post. Excellent goal from the Portuguese which reopens the match at the Mapei Stadium.
SASSUOLO-Milan 2-0 in the 10th minute! Laurienté network.
Thorstvedt sends Laurienté into space behind Florenzi who is burned by the Frenchman. Sportiello rejects the opponent's first shot but can do nothing on the tap-in. Double advantage for the neroverdi.
SASSUOLO-Milan 1-0 in the 4th minute! Pinamonti network.
Rossoneri defense too passive, Boloca puts it in the center for Thorstvedt who extends it with a heel for Pinamonti. The former Inter player turns with first intention from the height of the spot with his right foot and leaves Sportiello no chance.
Not as large a turnover as predicted on the eve for Pioli who however chooses to let Giroud, Pulisic, Reijnders and Bennacer catch his breath and cannot field Maignan, who remained in Milan due to injury. In the trio behind the lone striker Jovic there is no shortage of Leao and Loftus-Cheek, with their chance to start for Chukwueze, as already happened against Lecce. Not even Theo Hernandez takes a breath, called to guard the left-handed lane while on the right Florenzi starts from the 1st minute in place of Calabria. Central pair formed by Kjaer and the banned Thiaw, starting bench for Tomori. Sportiello is between the posts while the midfield hinge is made up of Musah and Adli.
Ballardini makes three changes compared to the draw in Salerno: Viti takes the left wing of defense with Doig relegated to the bench, Obiang takes Bajrami's place and Volpato wins the run-off with Defrel on the right of the black-green attack. Consigli again between the posts with Toljan on the right and the central pair Erlic-Ferrari in front of him. Boloca and Thorstvedt complete the midfield while Laurienté is in attack together with the usual Pinamonti.
