Sassuolo win over Pescara turned into 3-0 defeat

(Reuters) - Serie A's disciplinary committee has turned Sassuolo's 2-1 win over Pescara on Sunday into a 3-0 defeat because of irregularities in the registration of midfielder Antonino Ragusa. The committee said in a statement that Sassuolo failed to notify the league of the signing of Ragusa, 26, who came on as a substitute against Pescara, from Serie B club Cesena before last week's deadline. The club denied they failed to meet the deadline, saying the irregularities concerned a technology issue, and added that they would appeal against the ruling. Sassuolo's next league fixture is at champions Juventus on Sept. 11. (Reporting by Anna Jaworska Guidotti in Gdynia; Editing by Tony Jimenez)
