Sassuolo, Ac Milan Settle For A Draw In Serie A Clash
US Sassuolo once again found themselves in a familiar position as they let slip a two-goal advantage against AC Milan, ultimately settling for a 3-3 draw at the Mapei Stadium.
The match started explosively for Sassuolo, with Kristian Thorstvedt and Andrea Pinamonti combining beautifully to open the scoring. The early goal provided a glimmer of hope for a team desperate for points to secure their Serie A status. The second goal, courtesy of Armand Laurienté’s lightning-quick breakaway and finish, seemed to put Sassuolo in a commanding position.
However, memories of their recent capitulation to Salernitana lingered, adding a sense of unease to their performance. Milan, a team known for their resilience, clawed their way back into the match with Rafael Leão’s clinical finish setting the stage for a tense first half.
Laurienté’s second goal early in the second half seemed to put Sassuolo back in control, but Milan responded swiftly through Luka Jović, narrowing the gap to just one goal. Despite Sassuolo’s efforts to defend their lead, a late goal from Noah Okafor following a failed clearance ultimately saw them settle for a hard-fought draw.
Despite their best efforts to secure all three points, Sassuolo had to settle for a draw leaving them below the relegation line with only six games remaining.
