A captivating soccer match unfolded on the 9th of November, 2022, as US Sassuolo Calcio faced off against AS Roma in a game that had fans on the edges of their seats. The match saw its fair share of drama with cautions, substitutions, and late goals defining the encounter.

The first significant event of the match occurred in the 26th minute when AS Roma's Nicolò Zaniolo received a yellow card for unsporting behavior. As both teams sought to impose their will on the match, intensity rose and it wasn't long before Sassuolo's Armand Lauriente was also cautioned, picking up a yellow card in the 38th minute.

The second half continued with the same vigorous pace as the first. Sassuolo's Kaan Ayhan was booked with a yellow card in the 54th minute, followed shortly after by teammate Maxime López in the 62nd minute. The flurry of cautions did little to dampen the competitive spirit on the pitch.

Substitutions began to roll in as both sides looked to refresh their line-ups and shift the dynamics of the game; Zeki Çelik came on for AS Roma in the 65th minute, marking the game's first change. Almost simultaneously, Sassuolo made two changes – L. D'Andrea and A. Harroui entered the fray. Matching this, AS Roma introduced N. Zalewski and E. Shomurodov.

Further changes saw M. Lopez of Sassuolo substituted out in the 75th minute. In an attempt to add fresh legs and perhaps seek a breakthrough, AS Roma made their final substitution with N. Zaniolo making way in the 78th minute.

The deadlock was finally broken when AS Roma's talisman Tammy Abraham found the back of the net in the 80th minute, scoring a crucial goal. However, the celebration was short-lived as Sassuolo's Andrea Pinamonti replied with an equalizer just five minutes later, drawing the teams level. Notably, Pinamonti received a yellow card in the 86th minute, adding to the game's growing list of bookings.
