Sassuolo defeats Cagliari's Unipol Domus, securing a vital victory in the struggle for survival. With goals from Laurienté (MVP) and Pinamonti, Fabio Grosso's squad defeats the Sardinians 2-1. Sebastiano Esposito's goal—his first in Serie A after 284 days without a goal—was insufficient for Pisacane's squad. The Frenchman's straight free kick and the former Inter striker's finish from inside the penalty area decided the game without Berardi.
Cagliari celebrates Sebastiano Esposito's game-winning touch in the 28th minute after he deftly taps away Borrelli's headed assist. The excitement, however, is short-lived as the assistant raises his flag and the Rossoblù striker is clearly offside following a brief VAR examination. Sassuolo comes alive at the end of the first half and creates two fantastic chances: Thorstvedt's strong long-range right-footed shot and Volpato's diagonal attempt that looks destined for the corner.
