Football Italia reports Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 at the Mapei Stadium, with Alberto Aquilani praising his side’s courage and Nemanja Matic’s influence.
Football Italia reports that Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 at the Mapei Stadium, with Alberto Aquilani hailing the team’s “courage” after a dramatic finish. The winner came with the last kick of the game.
The report says four goals arrived from the 82nd minute to the 94th, turning the match into a late shootout. Sassuolo also got goals from Sebastiano Esposito, Kieron Bowie and Vasilije Adzic, while Edon Zhegrova scored twice for Juventus.
Aquilani singled out Nemanja Matic as “a champion” for his influence in midfield and his attitude around the squad. The report also says Esposito scored his first goal for the club, while Adzic and Bowie made decisive contributions after coming on.
This leaves Sassuolo with a statement victory that Aquilani framed as proof that the team can compete with top opposition if it keeps the same approach. The report adds to the sense that his substitutions and Matic’s control were central to the outcome.
