Sampdoria goalkeeper Emil Audero was the star of the show with a series of decisive saves to deny Sassuolo forwards in this 0-0 draw.
When he was beaten, Ciccio Caputo over-hit the lob and failed to make the most of the Omar Colley howler.
The saves of the game were on Jeremie Boga’s curler and a Filip Djuricic strike, as the Neroverdi failed to find a way past the Italian-Indonesian goalkeeper at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio-Emilia.
