Another unlucky match for Verona who, despite 15 shots, once again failed to capitalize on their dominance and turn it into goals: Zanetti's team is still without highlights.

In a match with two revoked penalties, it's a shot from eleven meters that decides everything: Pinamonti's shot is blocked by Montipò, but he is ready on the rebound and scores the only goal of the match.

The absence of Domenico Berardi is significant, he forfeits due to a knee discomfort, Volpato replaces him from the 1'.

The game starts immediately with Sassuolo in the lead: at 13' the Emilians have a triple chance, but Verona's defense is there and Nelsson and Frese block all three of the black and greens' shots.

Shortly after, Fourneau awards a penalty to Verona for a handball by Volpato in his area.

The VAR review shifts from the arm touch to the previous moments and the aerial challenge between Unai Nunez and Sassuolo's goalkeeper Muric in the small area.

Offensive foul by the Verona player that spoils the action and penalty revoked after the on-field review.

In the end of the first half, in addition to two dangerous chances by Giovane for Verona, one of which acrobatic, Sassuolo records a dangerous free kick by Laurientè, which is deflected by Montipò into a corner.

At halftime, the nets are still untouched.

Incredible opportunity for Thorstvedt at 60’: he shoots with his left just before Nelsson fouls him by taking out his support leg, the ball hits the post, bounces off Montipò and then hits the post again.

Fourneau awards a penalty for Nelsson's intervention, but revokes it after the VAR intervention: the foul occurred just a few centimeters outside the penalty area.

At 69’ for the third time Fourneau awards a penalty: Serdar knocks down Fadera in the area. This time there is no doubt: Pinamonti steps up to the spot: the shot is central, Montipò saves, but it's Pinamonti himself who turns the ball into the net.

In the final minutes, a strange case for Cheddira, who comes on the field to replace Pinamonti even though he had already been cautioned for protesting on the bench.

Protests again at 88’ for a contact in the area: Verona claims another penalty, but Fourneau blows for an offensive foul.
