Sassuolo secured a crucial 2-1 win against Udinese in the 2025/2026 Serie A match at Stadion Bluenergy in Udine on Sunday, February 15, 2026. Jay Idzes, a defender for the Indonesian national team, played a key role in the backline alongside Tarik Muharemovic, facing aggressive pressure from the home side from the outset.
Udinese took the lead in the 10th minute with a goal from Oumar Solet, assisted by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp. Sassuolo's situation worsened when Muharemovic received a yellow card in the 16th minute. Coach Fabio Grosso substituted Muharemovic in the second half with Ulisses Garcia to minimize risks.
The change paid off. Sassuolo equalized in the 56th minute through Armand Lauriente, set up by Andrea Pinamonti. Two minutes later, Pinamonti scored the second goal for Sassuolo with an assist from Garcia, turning the score to 2-1.
Udinese nearly leveled in the 70th minute from a corner kick, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for handball. Sassuolo held on to their lead until the end, marking a positive response to their previous defeat by Inter Milan. This victory keeps Sassuolo in the mid-table standings, while Idzes' consistent displays further solidify his importance to both the club and the Indonesian national team.
