Milan, 15 February (LaPresse) – Sassuolo pulled off an away win, coming from behind to beat Udinese 2-1 in the early kick-off on matchday 25 of Serie A. Three points for Grosso's team, redeeming themselves after last week's heavy defeat against Inter. The Emiliani are now on 30 points, three behind Udinese, who suffered their second consecutive defeat after the one in Lecce. The first half was evenly balanced at the Friuli stadium, with the Neroverdi the first to threaten through Thorstvedt. However, it was Udinese who took the lead in the 10th minute when Solet did well to beat a couple of opponents in the box and surprise Muric with a very precise shot. The hosts managed their lead without too much trouble and even came close to doubling their advantage on several occasions. Sassuolo tried to react but did not cause Okoye too many problems. In the second half, Grosso's team tried to step up the pace and immediately looked dangerous with Laurientè and Pinamonti in the box. This was the prelude to the equaliser in the 56th minute, scored by Laurientè with a crisp, precise right-footed shot from the centre of the box, following a backheel assist from Pinamonti. Two minutes later, in the 58th minute, the Neroverdi took the lead with a header from Pinamonti off a cross from the left by Ulisses Garcia.
