Juventus arrived on the 13th of September 2026 for this Serie A matchday 4 fixture carrying an unbeaten four-match run, but that sequence met its end at the hands of a clinical Sassuolo side. Sassuolo had established a pattern of finding the net consistently, having scored in three matches in a row prior to this meeting, and they added three more to that tally. Juventus held 58% possession and registered 19 shots to their opponents' 10, yet the hosts made the most of their six shots on target to edge the contest.
The history between these clubs featured a heavy Juventus advantage in recent years, including a 3-0 home win on 16 January 2024, but Sassuolo had also shown they could trouble their visitors, having famously recorded a 4-2 victory when they last hosted this fixture in September 2023. This latest chapter proved to be an absolute whirlwind of late action after a 65th-minute opener from S. Esposito, assisted by N. Matic. E. Zhegrova levelled for the visitors in the 82nd minute, before K. Bowie struck in the 89th minute with an assist from D. Bakola. E. Zhegrova struck again for Juventus in the 90th minute, set up by R. Kolo Muani, but V. Adzic won it for Sassuolo in the 90th minute following an assist by A. Lauriente. Edon Zhegrova earned a standout 9.3 rating for Juventus, while Arijanet Murić received an 8.2 rating for the victors.
The outcome pushed Sassuolo upward in the standings, moving them from 13th to 9th place after four matches played. Meanwhile, Juventus remained positioned closely in the upper half of the table with seven points from their opening four fixtures. Both clubs now sit just three points behind the league leaders, Lazio, who top the twenty-team table on 10 points.
Following this result, Sassuolo will next play away at Monza on September 18th.
