Sassuolo secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Catanzaro in the round of 32 of the 2025/26 Coppa Italia at Mapei Stadium.
However, the Indonesian national team captain, Jay Idzes, who was recently recruited from Venezia, has not yet had the opportunity to debut and has only been on the bench.
This victory takes Sassuolo through to the last 32 of the Coppa Italia, with the potential to face Como 1907 who will play against FC Sudtirol on August 16, 2025, as reported by the official Lega Serie A website.
Sassuolo, managed by coach Fabio Grosso, appeared dominant throughout the match as predicted against Serie B club Catanzaro, coached by former Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani.
Despite creating many chances, Sassuolo struggled to penetrate the opponent's defense guarded by goalkeeper Mirko Pigliacelli.
