Despite dominating possession, Verona struggled to find the back of the net, with Brazilian forward Giovane Nascimento having five shots that failed to trouble Sassuolo's defense. The hosts' inability to capitalize on their scoring chances ultimately proved costly, as they fell behind to Pinamonti's well-taken goal.

The match saw Verona push forward in search of a goal, but Sassuolo's defense held firm. A crucial moment came when Suat Serdar fouled Alieu Fadera in the box, earning Sassuolo a penalty.

The first half was an action-packed affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities that were expertly denied by their goalkeepers.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 71st minute when Sassuolo was awarded a penalty after Alieu Fadera was fouled in the box. Andrea Pinamonti stepped up to take the spot-kick but Montipò was equal to the task, saving the penalty.

Verona pushed hard for an equalizer in the final moments, with Gift Orban and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro both having chances snuffed out by Arijanet Muric's solid goalkeeping.
