Sassuolo shock Juventus 3-2 in chaotic finish
With a wild end to the game, Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2, handing the Bianconeri their first defeat of the season, per L'Équipe.
Sassuolo took a rollercoaster match 3-2 against Juventus, ending the Bianconeri’s unbeaten start and, according to L'Équipe, delivering their first defeat of the campaign. After a tight first half that finished goalless, the game exploded in the closing stages.
The match flips
The hosts broke the deadlock through Sebastiano Esposito at 65’, after a poor setup involving Pierre Kalulu. Juventus replied soon after: Edon Zhegrova scored his first goal for the club at 82’, putting the visitors back in the contest.
But Juventus couldn’t control the momentum. Kieron Bowie restored Sassuolo’s advantage at 89’, with Darryl Bakola providing the decisive assist. Once the defenses looked shaky, goals followed quickly: Zhegrova doubled at 90’+1, and Vasilije Adzic sealed the result on the counter at 90’+4.
A big statement in Serie A
With the win, Sassuolo pulled level with their opponent from that night. L'Équipe also points out a striking trend at the time: Serie A was still the only one of Europe’s big five leagues with no 0-0 draws yet.
Next up, Sassuolo travel to Monza on Friday (20:45), while Juventus host Atalanta on Sunday (18:00), according to L'Équipe.
