The Sassuolo they were relegated to Serie B and obviously many were rejected in the 2-0 defeat against Cagliari in Reggio Emilia. Marash Kumbullaauthor of the penalty foul that ended the match, deserves a 4.5 per La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The latest disaster: sleep and penalty on Lapadula”. Same vote for the Corriere dello Sportwhile it is more severe with a 4 the Corriere della Sera. Mashed potato Tuttosport he fails him with a 4.5: “He gives the penalty that definitively ends Sassuolo’s hopes”. Sassuolo News confirms the serious insufficiency: “On the bench after the own goal due to a technical choice. A good closing to stop a counterattack at the start of the second half then the madness on the penalty which leads to 0-2 and closes the game. Only one question: why?”. Finally it is 4.5 per TMW: “He seems to come in well, with the right head, after the mistake in the last match which he partially makes up for with a couple of important closures. Instead he commits another equally serious one, letting a ball slip away and committing a penalty foul on Lapadula. Another disaster.”
