🟥 Red card for Pinamonti: foul! But Sassuolo makes it 1-0 😱

After a start with two chances for each side, the game changes at the 16th minute with Pinamonti's expulsion: a sliding tackle on Djimsiti's ankle. Referee Marchetti immediately shows the red card despite protests.

With 10 men, Sassuolo still manages to take the lead from a corner: Laurienté takes the corner, the ball goes over Thorstvedt and Pasalic while Kolasinac doesn't intervene, Koné deflects it into the goal with his shin into an almost empty net.

This is Koné's 5th goal in Serie A, breaking his record for goals in a league: surpassing the 4 goals scored with Watford in the 2023/24 Championship. For Laurienté, it's 7 assists in the league, 4 of which in the last 2 games.

For the midfielder, it's his 3rd goal in this league. The only negative note is Fadera's exit from the field 4 minutes after his entrance due to a hit to the face from Kolasinac.
