Former Adzic punishes Juventus in the 94th minute: Sassuolo win 3-2 with the last kick of the game

Matchday 4 of Serie A

Sassuolo 3-2 Juventus

Scorers: 65' Esposito (S), 82' Zhegrova (J), 89' Bowie (S), 90'+1' Zhegrova (J), 90'+4' Adzic (J).


Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus are back in action after the late home draw against AC Milan, chasing their third league win in the fourth round of Serie A, with kick-off at 20:45 at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia against Alberto Aquilani’s Sassuolo. The hosts have 4 points from one win, one draw and one defeat. Juventus can move level with Lazio on 10 points at the top of the table, ahead of Inter and Roma’s matches tomorrow, but this is no easy assignment. Randal Kolo Muani is still chasing his first league goal, while Adzic, on loan from Juventus, starts on the Sassuolo bench.



  • The goals and the key moments:

    90'+4 - DRAMATIC 3-2 FOR SASSUOLO, ADZIC! The former Juventus player, on loan from Juventus, collects Lauriente's pass after a lightning counter with the Juventus defence nowhere to be seen. The Montenegrin shifts it on to his right foot and beats Vicario, with the Neroverdi winning it at the death.


    90'+1' - ZHEGROVA EQUALISES! The Kosovan does it again, takes the ball, shifts it on to his left foot and fires at the near post, with a culpable Muric unable to reach it. Juventus make it 2-2.


    89' - SASSUOLO DOUBLE THEIR LEAD, BOWIE!Bakola is brilliant as he bursts through on the left, beats Bremer and squares for the former Hellas player. He finishes clinically with his left foot in off the post to make it 2-1 to the Neroverdi.


    84' - Woltemade wastes the chance to double the lead, heading wide from a corner from an excellent position.


    83' - Alajbegovic is at it again, getting away down the left and curling a shot towards goal, but Muric turns it behind for a corner.


    82' - JUVENTUS EQUALISE, ZHEGROVA! A cross comes in from the left, Muric palms it away under pressure from Kolo Muani and the ball falls to the Kosovan, who cuts inside on to his left foot and thumps it towards goal.


    74' - Sassuolo's second is ruled out! Former Juventus player Adzic is played through in a suspicious position and chooses to square it for Cinquegrano, who taps into the net, but he was definitely offside.


    69' - Juventus go close to an equaliser through Douglas Luiz, whose powerful right-foot shot from the edge of the area forces Muric to push it behind for a corner.


    65' - SASSUOLO BREAK THE DEADLOCK, ESPOSITO! Berardi and Matic exchange passes quickly, then the Serbian slips a superb through ball into the path of the former Inter player, who makes no mistake with his right foot when through one-on-one with Vicario to make it 1-0. Kalulu was playing him onside.


    61' - Alajbegovic tries again from distance with his right foot, and again Muric saves.


    47' - Sassuolo respond straight away through Berardi, whose curling left-foot effort draws a save from Vicario, who turns it behind for a corner.


    46' - Alajbegovic slaloms away and shoots right-footed from the edge of the area, with Muric putting it behind for a corner.


    44' - Conceicao gets in again down the right and sends a dangerous cross into the middle, but the striker cannot get there.


    37' - Esposito tries his luck with a fine right-foot shot from distance, but the ball goes wide.


    36' - Kolo Muani breaks down the right and pulls it back for Conceicao, but Muric gets there first.


    33' - Koopmeiners wastes the chance after Conceicao gets away down the left and crosses for the arriving Dutchman, who strikes tamely with his left foot straight at goal.


    27- Berardi and Esposito play a quick one-two on the edge of the area, with the Neroverdi captain denied at the last by Vicario coming off his line.


    15' - Alajbegovic produces brilliant play down the left, with stepovers and a dangerous cross into the middle, but nobody is there to meet it.


    7' - Berardi drives through the left side of the centre and heads for goal, enters the area and shifts the ball, but Lucumi does well to get between him and the ball, allowing Vicario to come out.


    3' - Nico Gonzalez hits the bar! The Argentine lets fly with his right foot from outside the area and clips the crossbar.
