Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Sassuolo, 19th position with 24 points and a negative goal difference of -23
Salernitana, 20th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of -39

Salernitana have not found a strategy to leave the relegation zone. Salernitana are still in the last position. Salernitana and Sassuolo ended the Serie A Week 31 game with a draw on Friday 5 April 2024 at the Arechi Stadium in Salerno, Italy. Sassuolo draw at least two consecutive matches in Serie A for the first time since the period between August and September 2022 (three in that case). Salernitana’s reaction in the second half, the Neroverdi threw away the double lead of the first half (goals from Lauriente and Bajrami), wasting opportunities to close the match; Candreva on a penalty (punished for a tackle by Ferrari on Tchaouna) shortens, Maggiore in full recovery completes the comeback: a point that is of little use to both teams, the negative streak of both continues at the bottom of the table.

Sassuolo took the lead in the 36th minute. Armand Laurienté defeated Salernitana goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Nedim Bajrami.
