Sassuolo’s second-half fightback to beat Udinese 2-1 shows late-game potency; punters could back Sassuolo in Asian handicap markets (0/+0.5) or Andrea Pinamonti as an anytime scorer in upcoming matches. The victory lifts Sassuolo into ninth and adds short-term betting value on their attacking form.
Sassuolo Rally Past Udinese at the Friuli to Claim 2-1 Win
Udinese took an early lead through Oumar Solet’s opportunistic strike, but Sassuolo overturned the deficit with two minutes of rapid-fire brilliance after the break. Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti struck in the 56th and 58th minutes respectively to secure a pivotal 2-1 victory that lifts the visitors into ninth place in Serie A.
Match Flow and Key Moments
Solet punished a poor pass from the left by winning possession high and finishing low from the edge of the box to give Udinese a 10th-minute lead. Sassuolo looked ragged after a heavy defeat last week but regrouped in the second half. A swift team move from a goal-kick ended with Lauriente finishing from close range to level, and two minutes later Ulisses Garcia’s cross found Pinamonti to head Sassuolo ahead.
Tactics and Turning Points
Sassuolo’s response came through quick, incisive combinations down both flanks and better control in midfield after the break. Udinese’s early pressing paid off with the opener, but they couldn’t stop the momentum shift once Sassuolo found rhythm — the two-goal swing underlined the visitors’ superior cohesion in attack late on.
Table Implications
The win moves Sassuolo up to ninth, while Udinese drop to 10th, both level on points (32) from 25 matches. For bettors, the result suggests Sassuolo have momentum and may offer value in short-term markets — particularly for match-winner, handicap and anytime-scorer bets featuring Pinamonti.
