Another defeat for Palermo. The Rosanero team was beaten 2-1 by Sassuolo yesterday. At the end of the match, on the club's official channels, the attacker Federico Di Francesco commented: “It was a match where we started 1-0 down and we did well to react and find the 1-1 goal in my opinion – he reports Livesicilia -. We also had potential opportunities in the second half, then unfortunately Pierini's goal arrived which allowed Sassuolo to win.
We came here with the desire to get a result knowing that we were meeting a strong team that is first in the table and is having a great championship. Unfortunately it wasn't enough. We have to look forward, we are angry and disappointed. On the crossbar hit by me? Good opportunity, shame because I thought it was a goal when it started. We also had other occasions where we could have been more cynical in finishing. We have to improve from this point of view, we know it.”
