The Ivory Coast midfielder scored twice when the blacks and greens scored a point against Ivan Juric’s men at home on Sunday
Ivory Coast international Jeremie Boga has made his first double for club and country after scoring twice in Serie A in Sassuolo’s 3-3 draw against Hellas Verona on Sunday.
The midfielder’s efforts in the second half proved useful for the Black Greens as they ensured that the game ended without a winner and without a defeated score.
Sassuolo came into the match on Wednesday after the 3-3 draw against Antonio Contes Inter Milan to silence the visiting mastiffs.
Nevertheless, they were shocked in the empty Mapei Citta del Tricolore stadium when the guests took the lead in the 51st minute through Darko Lazovic, who shot an unstoppable missile at the edge of the box past goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.
However, it was the second-half substitute who did the hosts two minutes later. The 25-year-old used Verona’s disorganized defense to shoot past Marco Silvestri.

In the 57th minute, the guests restored their lead through Mariusz Stepinski. The Polish striker plunged into an empty net after Lazovic threw a cross at him in the penalty area after displacing defender Mert Muldur.
The game looked like Sassuolo, who conceded a third goal thanks to Matteo Pessina’s solo assignment, but the hosts, who are looking for a place in Europe next season, never gave up.
Boga initially ended his double in the 77th minute after shooting in the top corner after receiving a pass from Francesco Caputo in the opposing goal area before Rogerio equalized with his goal in the 90th minute.
