The Neroverdi tied 1-1 in their first ever European match against FC Luzern.
Sassuolo played FC Luzern in their European debut in Switzerland. Although their path to the Europa League group stage may seem a bit arduous, tonight’s result will definitely buoy them forward. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have traveled a long way to get where they are today. The directors of the club have put something truly special together in terms of their organization and roster.
Tonight’s draw has a major benefit to their attempt to make it to the playoff round. Domenico Berardi’s 42nd minute equalizer from the spot canceled out Schnewly’s 8th minute goal. A pretty nervy start was conquered and the Italians will take back a slight advantage to the MAPEI Stadium.
Outside of Domenico Berardi, Andrea Consigli played an excellent game in part by making numerous saves. Especially the second half miracle stop against Neumayr from about 12 yards out.
After the match, Andrea Consigli spoke in the mixed zone: “I hope the penalty goal will be decisive in sending us through to the next round.”
Di Francesco wasn’t exactly thrilled with the result, but satisfied: “I would’ve liked to have taken home a victory, but this is good enough.”
