Very important success for Sassuolo. The team coached by Davide Ballardini beat Italian champions Inter 1-0, gaining three important points in the fight to avoid relegation. An unexpected setback instead for Simone Inzaghi’s team who unexpectedly lost at the Mapei Stadium a week after celebrating the title victory. A decisive goal in the first half of the match scored by Laurienté was decisive.
Ballardini’s words
These are the statements of the Neroverde coach Davide Ballardini: “We are happy with the result and the performance, then sorry because we made mistakes in the last two matches because we were empty. Before Lecce we played against Milan and we had a great match but I always said that we are dealing with a group of very serious guys who care about us perhaps more than they should and perhaps this led to the two bad performances, while this evening we saw a team that helped each other, that fought the moment doesn’t let you play as you would like but this is what we have to see until the end.”
Inzaghi’s statements
This is Simone Inzaghi’s comment: “The approach wasn’t good in the first 20 minutes but the team tried, we deserved to equalize in the first half with the disallowed goal, Dumfries’ action and Pavard’s header In the second we were dirtier technically, but credit must be given to Sassuolo who defended very well, they scored after our lack of attention at the start and then they defended it.”
Below are the highlights of the match.
