Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri had no complaints after being held 1-1 by Sassuolo.
Simone Zaza's opener for Sassuolo was cancelled by Paul Pogba.
"I knew there were difficulties in this game, especially as we had so many internationals out all week. Sassuolo were coming off some bad results, but with good performances," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.
"They created problems for us tonight, we didn't have many shots on goal and this allowed them to get several counter-attacks. They pushed us back and made us run risks, even though Consigli saved them a few times. We should've done better.
"Sassuolo deserve credit for forcing us to play differently and making life difficult for us. We struggled at the start, then got the game in hand, but overall didn't have enough shots on goal, even from distance."
