Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Sassuolo 3-1 Fiorentina in the Serie A on Saturday, 06 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Sassuolo defeated Fiorentina 3-1 in Serie A. Fiorentina took an early lead when Rolando Mandragora scored from the penalty spot in the ninth minute, but Sassuolo quickly equalised through Cristian Volpato in the 13th minute, assisted by Tarik Muharemović. The hosts then went ahead just before half-time with Muharemović’s goal in the 45+1st minute, assisted by Armand Laurienté, building on their recent form that included a 3-0 win over Atalanta.
In the second half, Sassuolo made substitutions at the 54th minute with Walid Cheddira replacing Andrea Pinamonti and Alieu Fadera coming on for Armand Laurienté, before a red card to Fabio Grosso in the 59th minute. Ismaël Koné extended the lead in the 65th minute, assisted by Volpato, sealing the win despite Fiorentina’s efforts to respond with their own changes. This result extends Sassuolo’s mixed recent run, following a loss to Como and a draw with Pisa, while Fiorentina’s defeat adds to their poor form with back-to-back losses including against Atalanta.
Fiorentina dominated possession with 60% compared to Sassuolo’s 40%, suggesting they controlled much of the game’s tempo, but Sassuolo made more of their opportunities, evidenced by seven corners to Fiorentina’s one and higher successful dribbles at 67 against 57. The hosts also recorded three assists while Fiorentina had none, highlighting Sassuolo’s sharper attacking transitions despite fewer touches on the ball.
Cards were frequent, with Sassuolo picking up two yellows and one red, while Fiorentina received three yellows, and the visitors took one penalty which they converted. Substitutions saw Sassuolo make four changes, including Walid Cheddira for Andrea Pinamonti and Alieu Fadera for Armand Laurienté at 54 minutes, Woyo Coulibaly for Sebastian Walukiewicz at 78 minutes, and Nicholas Pierini for Cristian Volpato at 79 minutes; Fiorentina used all five, starting with Cher Ndour for Simon Sohm at 46 minutes, followed by Roberto Piccoli for Nicolò Fagioli and Niccolò Fortini for Fabiano Parisi at 62 minutes, Mattia Viti for Luca Ranieri at 63 minutes, and Christian Kouamé for Dodô at 84 minutes.
The match turned early when Fiorentina earned a penalty in the ninth minute, converted by Rolando Mandragora to take the lead, but Sassuolo responded swiftly with Cristian Volpato’s equaliser in the 13th minute, assisted by Tarik Muharemović. Muharemović then scored himself in the 45+1st minute, assisted by Armand Laurienté, giving Sassuolo a half-time advantage. A red card to Fabio Grosso in the 59th minute added pressure on Sassuolo, yet they extended their lead through Ismaël Koné in the 65th minute, assisted by Volpato, proving decisive.
Key substitutions influenced the flow, with Sassuolo bringing on Walid Cheddira and Alieu Fadera at 54 minutes for Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté respectively, while Fiorentina’s half-time change of Cher Ndour for Simon Sohm aimed to regain momentum. Late yellow cards for Fiorentina’s Cher Ndour in the 90+3rd minute, Mattia Viti in the 90+5th, and Rolando Mandragora in the 90+6th reflected their frustration as the game slipped away.
Sassuolo lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Tarik Muharemović showing strong involvement in midfield by scoring and assisting, while Cristian Volpato contributed effectively in attack with a goal and an assist. Armand Laurienté provided key support on the wing before his substitution, and Ismaël Koné added dynamism in the forward line with his second-half goal. Partnerships like Muharemović and Volpato helped drive the hosts’ comeback and control after the early setback.
Fiorentina deployed a 3-5-2 setup, relying on Rolando Mandragora in midfield who scored their only goal from a penalty and picked up a late yellow card. Defenders like Luca Ranieri held the backline until his substitution, while wing-back Dodô contributed before making way late on. The formation aimed for width, but substitutions such as Cher Ndour and Mattia Viti, who both received yellow cards, highlighted efforts to adjust defensively.
Tarik Muharemović earned Bwin’s Man of the Match award for his pivotal role in Sassuolo’s victory, scoring one goal and providing one assist. He also created one key pass, demonstrating his influence in midfield and ability to shift the game’s momentum. His contributions were central to the hosts’ recovery after falling behind early.
