Stadio Citta del Tricolore- 12 January, 2014 - Serie A - 19.45 UK KO
AC Milan's ambition to turn their luck around
in 2014 and keeping their previous victory going suffered a heavy blow
as the Rossoneri received shock defeat over struggling Sassuolo's side
on Sunday. Facing a team that are in much more problems that they are,
Milan were looking really dominant early on and that was proven when
Massimiliano Allegri's went one goal up after just nine minutes through
Robinho and things were looking really comfortable for the away side
when Mario Balotelli extended their lead with his finish on 13 minutes.
However,
a clumsy defending on 15 minutes really cost Milan as Sassuolo managed
to reduce the damage with a fine finish from Domenico Berardi. The young
Italian striker, turned to be a menace for Rossoneri as another poor
defensive display allowed Berardi to snatch a shocking equalizing goal
on 28 minutes. Shortly afterwards, in another bizarre situation, the
home side out of nowhere suddenly turned things around with Berardi
completing his hat trick on 41 minutes.
