Thus passes yet another salvation train for Pisa, who still can't find the three points they've been missing since early November. The Tuscans fall at home and remain anchored to last place.

The undisputed star of the match is the eternal Domenico Berardi: the Neroverdi legend is back on the scoresheet and writes another page of Serie A history. Then, Caracciolo's own goal and Koné's third seal the victory for Sassuolo. Not even Muric's disastrous interventions and Aebischer's goal can stop Grosso's boys.

✅ THE OFFICIAL LINEUPS FOR PISA-SASSUOLO

PISA (3-4-2-1): Scuffet; Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Bozhinov; Touré, Aebischer, Marin, Angori; Tramoni, Moreo; Meister. Coach: Gilardino.

🐐 BERARDI SCORES AGAIN: HE'S IN THE HISTORY BOOKS

After a good start to the match by Pisa, the ball that breaks the deadlock ends up at the feet of the inevitable Berardi. Brilliant dribbling in the penalty area and a sharp shot that beats Scuffet: it's the captain's fifth goal of the season for the Neroverdi.

For Berardi, it's a goal of significant weight: the Sassuolo captain scores in a Serie A match for the first time since November 9, 2025, when he struck against Atalanta.

As reported by Opta, Berardi also enters the history of the league: he is the first player to score at least 5 goals in more than 10 different seasons since 2013/14, the year of his debut in the competition.

😰 PISA OWN GOAL: DOWN 2-0 AT 45'

Five minutes later, Berardi goes close to doubling the lead, but for Sassuolo's second goal you have to wait a little longer.

At the end of the first half, following a corner kick, Caracciolo tries to get in front of Koné, but in doing so ends up deflecting the ball into his own net. It's an own goal: Pisa go into the break down by two goals.

🔙 PISA RESPONDS WITH AEBISCHER

The second half starts in the best possible way for the home side, who reduce the deficit in the 50th minute after a really fiery start. Durosinmi finds Aebischer with a precise pass and the midfielder unleashes a perfect shot that beats Muric.

Just a minute later, Pisa has the chance to bring the match back level, but Idzes saves everything on the line, preserving the Neroverdi's lead. On the other hand, Muric's intervention is worth reviewing, as he makes a crazy exit that almost proves costly.

🔥 MATIC'S CHOCOLATE PASS: KONÉ MAKES IT THREE

Miss a goal, concede a goal. That's how it goes, right? It's not a written rule, but it almost always happens that way. And Sassuolo's third is proof of that. In the 58th minute, Matic creates a real pool shot in the box for Koné: a perfect ball for the midfielder's run, who beats Scuffet with a precise shot.

Sassuolo then has the chance to extend their lead even further over Pisa. Tramoni brings down Laurienté and initially the referee awards a penalty. After a VAR review, however, the referee changes his mind and gives only a free kick on the edge of the box. The score remains 3-1 in favor of Grosso's boys.

🟥 MURIC IS A DISASTER: SAVED BY OFFSIDE

We said it: Muric's exits against Pisa were becoming a real issue, and disaster seemed just around the corner with yet another late intervention by the Neroverdi goalkeeper.

Durosinmi's control is perfect, but Muric brings him down. The red card would have been well-deserved, but offside – by a knee – saves him from being sent off.
