Sassuolo defeats Juventus 3-2 in dramatic Serie A comeback
Sassuolo secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Juventus in a Serie A match characterized by intense late-game action. After a scoreless first half, the match saw multiple lead changes. Sebastiano Esposito opened the scoring for Sassuolo, followed by an equalizer from Edon Zhegrova for Juventus. Kieron Bowie restored Sassuolo's lead, but Zhegrova scored again in stoppage time to make it 2-2. The decisive blow came in the 94th minute when Vasilije Adzic, currently on loan from Juventus, scored the winning goal for Sassuolo.
Following the match, Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali expressed disappointment over the loss, citing errors in balance and discipline. Despite calls for managerial changes, Carnevali voiced support for head coach Luciano Spalletti, stating that changing the coach is not in his spirit and emphasizing the need for patience and long-term planning. Spalletti noted that the team lost its defensive structure by being too aggressive in pursuit of a winner, leaving significant space for Sassuolo's counter-attacks.
