💣 Lazio lose again, Sassuolo win 1-0, Rovella and Taty out 🤕 | OneFootball

Lazio fails to build on their victory against Verona as Sassuolo wins 1-0: the decisive goal comes from Fadera in the 70th minute, along with key saves from Muric and the defensive solidity of Grosso's team. The Biancocelesti remain at 3 points, just like Sassuolo, who claim their first win of the season.

In the first half, the intensity is high from the very start but clear chances are scarce: Lazio's attack can't break through while Sassuolo threatens twice with Pinamonti. This trend seems to change in the second half with a shot from Cataldi and a superb save from Muric on Zaccagni, who was almost certain to score with a header.

However, it's Sassuolo who takes the lead as they gradually gain ground, and the goal comes in the 70th minute from a corner: a header from Muharemovic and a close-range deflection by Fadera (who came on for Laurienté).

In the final minutes, Sarri's team throws everything forward but can't find the net, ending with protests over a challenge on Provedel, who had come up for the last corner in Sassuolo's box.

👀 Red card revoked for Vranckx! Rovella and Castellanos out 🤕

In the 25th minute, the first big decision of the match arrives: Vranckx is sent off for a foul on Rovella, but the referee is called to the monitor: the contact is judged as a "step on foot" and the red card is changed to yellow.

Tremolada announces the decision in the stadium, a choice also shared by Luca Marelli on DAZN: "Vranckx took a risk; if it had been 10cm higher, it would have been on the ankle. But in this case, yellow is the right call."

Nicolò Rovella himself (who was doubtful due to a psoas muscle problem) was substituted in the 41st minute – unrelated to the foul suffered – but still walked off on his own.

In the second half, Castellanos was forced off in the 60th minute: according to Sky, it's a muscle strain. The player left the field on his own but put an ice pack on his leg while on the bench.

💣 Huge save by Muric and Fadera's goal

In the 62nd minute, Muric temporarily keeps the score level: a "certain goal" header from Zaccagni, but the Sassuolo goalkeeper keeps it out with an instant reaction. A save worth 0.74xGOT: about 7 times out of 10, a shot like that becomes a goal.

Sassuolo, however, pushes forward more and more and takes the lead in the 70th minute: a corner kick, header by Muharemovic, and Fadera deflects the ball in front of goal for the 1-0.

👀 Provedel goes down in Sassuolo's box: check at 96'

In the final minutes, Lazio throws everyone forward and protests for a shove on Provedel, who had come up into Sassuolo's box for the last corner of the match. The action is checked by VAR, but the referee is given the OK to end the match without review.
