Empoli causing an upset win the Serie A Week 11 game defeating Sassuolo in the agonizing 92nd minute on Sunday 31 October 2021 at the Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo, Italy. Empoli were losing the game and in the last 7 minutes scored 2 goals to silence the Mapei grabbing the victory. Previously, Sassuolo have won all 4 Serie A home games played against Empoli: of the teams against which the neroverdi have 100% domestic successes, Tuscany is the one against which they have played the most (four).
✅ Stats before the game. Sassuolo have achieved just 2 wins in 5 home games this season (1D, 2P), on both occasions in which they have faced newly promoted teams (1-0 against Salernitana in September and 3-1 against Venezia in the last meeting at home). Having won only one of the first five games of this championship with Dionisi on the bench (1N, 3P), Sassuolo have achieved three wins in the last five (1D, 1L), including two in the last two days. Empoli have won three of the first four away matches of this Serie A season: only once have the Tuscans achieved four wins in the first five away games in a top league (2002/03). Sassuolo coach Alessio Dionisi coached Empoli last season in Serie B, winning the championship – the 2020/21 season was the one in which the Tuscans recorded fewer defeats (three out of 38 matches).
Domenico Berardi playing his 300th match with the Sassuolo shirt in all competitions, becoming the second player currently in the squad to reach this milestone with the club after Francesco Magnanelli – the 1994-born striker has taken part in nine goals in the last eight matches against newly promoted teams in Serie A (seven goals and two assists).
Sassuolo opening the score in the 44th minute with the own goal by Lorenzo Tonelli, though the action started by Traore.
