Sassuolo boss Beppe Iachini admired their comeback in the second half against Atalanta, even if it wasn’t enough to stay in the Coppa Italia.

The Neroverdi pushed hard in a bid to force extra time, especially after Jasmin Kurtic was sent off, but it is Atalanta who go on to face Napoli in the quarter-final.

Beppe Iachini had a novel solution for Sassuolo’s penalty problems, but assures they “deserved our victory” against Sampdoria.

The Neroverdi earned a surprise 1-0 result at Marassi thanks to Alessandro Matri’s last-minute goal, after Emiliano Viviano had saved a Matteo Politano penalty.

Beppe Iachini celebrated the first Sassuolo home victory of the season, seeing off Crotone 2-1, but warned it's early days.

“We put in a good performance, even if there’s a lot we can do to improve,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“At times we don’t develop the moves properly and we need to have more vertical passes. We were unable to kill the game off, then that own goal put the result in doubt.

Matteo Politano scored one and assisted another for Edoardo Goldaniga, as Sassuolo ruined Walter Zenga’s debut on the Crotone bench.

It could’ve been 3-1 to the Neroverdi, but Alessandro Matri saw a late penalty saved by Alex Cordaz.

Remarkably, this is Sassuolo’s first home victory of the season and until today they had scored just once at the Mapei Stadium.

New boss Beppe Iachini got his first success at the club and made it a debut to forget for Zenga, who only replaced Davide Nicola on the Crotone bench on Friday.

Beppe Iachini says Sassuolo are still searching for their identity ahead of the match with Crotone.

The former Udinese boss has presided over two matches since replacing the sacked Cristian Bucchi as Neroverdi Coach.

They were beaten 3-0 by Fiorentina last weekend, with the last seven days being the first full week Iachini has had to work with his new players.

“Both for the match against Bariand the one against Fiorentina, we had very little time to prepare,” the tactician said.
