Harroui carries on the Sassuolo

The two teams study each other at the start. Sassuolo plays the match, Verona goes on the counterattack with Duda serving Lasagna and does not see Verdi (16′) saving the neroverde defence. Laurientè (23′) and Frattesi (29′) do not frame the goal. A high shot by Veloso anticipates the visitors’ opening goal by thirty seconds: Berardi jumps his opponent, then crosses to Harroui who, with a header, inside the penalty area, beats Montipò. The ice falls on the Bentegodi while Laurientè still engages the extreme defender of the Scala (38 ‘). 3’ from the end of the first half Rogerio tries with his left foot, a deflected ball that is about to mock Montipò.

Sassuolo is close to doubling

During the interval Zaffaroni, evidently dissatisfied, changes half of the midfield. He starts again and the guests are close to doubling first with a header from Tressoldi and then with a veil from Pinamonti who inserts Frattesi, the shot is ready and the ball is high (9 ‘). Lasagna came close to scoring (10′) then Pinamonti himself went it alone (14’) and unleashed a shot deflected for a corner by Montipò.

The comeback of Verona

In the 18th minute Berardi sends over from a good position, three minutes and Rogerio misses the intervention, Faraoni only finds the outside of the net. Sassuolo was still one step away from doubling the lead in the 27th minute when Henrique invents for Laurienté, a shot with a sure shot and Magnani saves from the beaten goalkeeper. Montipò still keeps his team afloat by rejecting a lefty from Rogerio. Verona believes in a draw. Corner from the right, header by Terracciano, Lopez saves on the line (33′), then in the 39′ the hero of the first leg repeats himself: Snipers he headed the near post from a corner action and equalized the score. Montipò saves again on Pinamonti and Alvarez. In the 5th minute of stoppage time Consigli misses the clearance and gives the ball away to Gaich which with a delicious lob makes the Bentegodi explode.
