Sassuolo narrowly missed out on a place in next season’s newly formed UEFA Conference League even though they secured a 2-0 Serie A win over Lazio at the Mapei Stadium on Sunday night, after playing half an hour with ten men.
Giorgios Kyriakopoulos was the man in the spotlight after scoring a screamer in the first half, before being dismissed for a second yellow card on the 60th minute. Domenico Berardi scored a penalty in the second half to see the Neroverdi finish in eighth place in Serie A and agonisingly missed out on Europe thanks to Roma’s late equaliser away to Spezia.
Roberto De Zerbi then confirmed in his post-match press conference that he would be leaving the Mapei this summer.
