🐐 BERARDI SCORES AGAIN: HE'S IN THE HISTORY BOOKS
After a good start to the match by Pisa, the ball that breaks the deadlockends up at the feet of the inevitable Berardi. Brilliant dribblingin the penalty area and a sharp shotthat beats Scuffet: it's the captain's fifth goal of the seasonfor the Neroverdi.
For Berardi, it's a goal of significant weight: the Sassuolo captainscores in a Serie Amatch for the first time since November 9, 2025, when he struck against Atalanta.
As reported by Opta, Berardi also enters the history of the league: he is the first playerto score at least 5 goalsin more than 10 different seasonssince 2013/14, the year of his debut in the competition.
😰 PISA OWN GOAL: DOWN 2-0 AT 45'
Five minutes later, Berardigoes close to doubling the lead, but for Sassuolo's second goalyou have to wait a little longer.
At the end of the first half, following a corner kick, Caracciolotries to get in front of Koné, but in doing so ends up deflecting the ball into his own net. It's an own goal: Pisago into the break down by two goals.
🔙 PISA RESPONDS WITH AEBISCHER
The second halfstarts in the best possible way for the home side, who reduce the deficitin the 50th minuteafter a really fiery start. Durosinmifinds Aebischerwith a precise passand the midfielder unleashes a perfect shotthat beats Muric.
Just a minutelater, Pisahas the chance to bring the match back level, but Idzessaves everything on the line, preserving the Neroverdi's lead. On the other hand, Muric's interventionis worth reviewing, as he makes a crazy exitthat almost proves costly.
🔥 MATIC'S CHOCOLATE PASS: KONÉ MAKES IT THREE
Miss a goal, concede a goal. That's how it goes, right? It's not a written rule, but it almost always happens that way. And Sassuolo's thirdis proof of that. In the 58th minute, Maticcreates a real pool shotin the box for Koné: a perfect ball for the midfielder's run, who beats Scuffetwith a precise shot.
Sassuolothen has the chance to extend their lead even further over Pisa. Tramonibrings down Laurientéand initially the referee awards a penalty. After a VAR review, however, the referee changes his mind and gives only a free kick on the edge of the box. The score remains 3-1in favor of Grosso's boys.

Durosinmi's controlis perfect, but Muricbrings him down. The red cardwould have been well-deserved, but offside– by a knee– saves him from being sent off.
