Sassuolo played out a 0-0 draw against Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on April 26, 2026, in a Serie A match that left the Viola's mathematical safety from relegation still unconfirmed. The Neroverdi displayed a solid defensive performance, securing an important away point.

Fiorentina approached the game without two first-choice strikers, Moise Kean and Roberto Piccoli, relying on Albert Gudmundsson as the central forward, supported by Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon on the wings. Sassuolo, on the other hand, was without Domenico Berardi, naming an attacking trio of Christian Volpato, Andrea Pinamonti, and Armand Lauriente.

The match saw a balanced start, with Sassuolo creating the first real scoring opportunity. Around 10 minutes in, Ismael Kone and Lauriente combined well on the left wing, leading to a shot that required a decisive save from goalkeeper David De Gea, who denied them with his legs, keeping the score at 0-0.

Despite the efforts from both teams, the score remained locked at zero-zero throughout the encounter. Sassuolo's defense proved compact, frustrating Fiorentina's attacks and ensuring a valuable point for their league standing.

This draw means that Fiorentina will have to wait longer for mathematical certainty of remaining in Serie A. For Sassuolo, however, the point earned at the Franchi represents a positive step in their season, demonstrating their ability to hold their own against a team like the Viola.
