Opportunity seized: Sassuolo's counterattack secures victory against AC Milan in Round 4

Sassuolo has shown that they can compete with the big boys, as their counter-attacking style has been effective against some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

On Sunday, Sassuolo showcased this talent when they defeated AC Milan 1-0 in Round 4 of Serie A. The match was played at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Bologna and it was a tense affair from start to finish.

Sassuolo took control early on and created several chances for themselves. However, it wasn't until the second half that they really turned up the heat and started to cause problems for the home side.

In the 55th minute, Sassuolo struck with a powerful shot from outside the box that beat goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The goal was well-deserved after a strong performance by the team.

AC Milan had no answer for Sassuolo's counter-attacking style and were unable to create any meaningful chances of their own. Despite being the more dominant side, they couldn't find a way past the Sassuolo defense.

The result was a clear statement of Sassuolo's ability to compete with the best in Serie A. They showed that they have what it takes to be a serious contender for promotion to the top flight next season.

Overall, it was a fantastic display of football from Sassuolo and one that will give them plenty of confidence heading into the rest of the season. They now sit just two points behind leaders Juventus and have the potential to make a real push for the title.
