2-0 in a flash and two penalties overturned by VAR

It takes just 12 minutes for the home team to take a 2-0 lead, while in the second half the Friulani protest for two penalties revoked by VAR.

The opening minutes of the match are all marked by Sassuolo: the Neroverdi break the deadlock with Armand Laurienté after just 8 minutes of play.

Pinamonti's decisive layoff for Berardi sets up the Frenchman in open space. Laurienté easily gets past the very young Palma and beats Sava.

The second goal comes shortly after: in the 12th minute, it's Ismael Koné—his first goal in Serie A—who scores. The Frenchman is set up by Laurienté and once again it's Palma who is caught out, giving away the crucial space.

Udinese tries to react and on two occasions referee Perenzoni whistles for a foul in the box. However, in both cases, the referee, called to an On Field Review, overturns his initial decision.

In the 27th minute, there's contact between Laurienté and Zaniolo in the Neroverdi penalty area, initially sanctioned with a penalty and then turned into an attacking foul by Udinese.

In the 39th minute, a similar situation: Solet anticipates Waluckiewicz, who fouls the Frenchman, at least according to Perenzoni's initial interpretation.

After the OFR, however, the referee changes his mind, ruling that the Pole had played the ball in a non-foul manner.

Davis pulls one back and Iannoni's first goal in Serie A

In the second half, Udinese shoots more on goal and narrows the gap in the 55th minute with Davis: Atta gets free in the box and shoots, Muric's save is imperfect and Davis scores into an open net on the rebound.

The match hangs in the balance again, but substitute Edoardo Iannoni (born 2001) comes on in the 79th minute and less than two minutes later scores: cross from Fadera and a header for his first goal in Serie A. Iannoni had already made his league debut at the end of the match against Cremonese.

The midfielder, in his first season in Serie A, had made 22 appearances last season in Serie B with Sassuolo.
