Sassuolo gaining momentum with this home victory against Udinese. It’s a precious victory because Sassuolo now is ahead of Udinese climbing from the 13th to the 9th position. It is surely an added boost ahead of the Europa League Matchday 2 against Genk to be played at the KRC Genk Arena in Belgium on Thursday 29 September.
Sassuolo opening the score in the 34th minute. It is forward Gregoire Defrel to defeat Udinese goalkeeper with a left footed shot from close range in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Pol Lirola with a cross. It’s the fourth goal of the season by Defrel.
