Luciano Spalletti, 1000 matches as a coach

With only two goals conceded in the last 6 stages, the Serie A leaders also managed to win the match at Citta del Tricolore at the end of a match that was completely controlled by the visitors.

In the match under Luciano Spalletti’s 1000th game on the technical bench, the Georgian Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring against Napoli (12th minute), and in the 33rd minute, top scorer Viktor Osikhen doubled the advantage.

The visitors relaxed in the second half, which allowed Sassuolo to attack more.

However, the hosts were unable to recover in the match, and the match ended with the score set since the first half.

For Sassuolo, the fight for relegation continues. The team is currently in 15th place in Italy’s first league, 7 points away from the first place that can be relegated.
