"We are sorry because we conceded the two goals immediately after making them," Sassuolo manager Alesso Dionisi said after the game against Cagliari.
"We conceded too many free-kicks. I can say little about the performance, we had 20 shots on target. It's a shame because these matches have to be won, if you perform these performances.
"This match cannot finish 2-2, if it happens it means that you have to do better also because the ranking is less positive compared to what we have done on the pitch."
While Napoli succumbed to a 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan in their last away match in Serie A which took place on November 21.
The defeat ended the Little Donkey's 10-match unbeaten run on the road having registered nine wins and one draw.
