US Sassuolo vs Torino

Sassuolo got their season up and running with a 2-1 win over Torino at the Mapei Stadium, with a returning Domenico Berardi supplying the decisive late touch off the bench. Alessandro Volpato broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute, finishing a slick move started by Emil Adzic's back-heel after Simon Laurienté won the ball back in midfield. Torino hit back right on the stroke of halftime as Pietro Comuzzo headed home a cross from Cher Ndour-linked buildup down the left. The game stayed level until the 78th minute, when substitute Berardi struck the winner, later revealed to be dedicated to injured teammate Ismael Koné. No red cards or penalties were shown. It's a big result for Sassuolo, who bounce back from an opening-day loss to Atalanta to claim their first points of the season under Alberto Aquilani. For Torino, it's back-to-back defeats to start the campaign following their loss to Milan, leaving Ignazio Abate under early pressure.
