Sassari secured a comfortable victory against Henna in the latest round of the Serie A. The home side ran out 37:23 winners in front of their own crowd on Saturday afternoon. It was a result that reflected the current standing of both clubs rather than any surprise. The hosts were never really in danger of losing.
Sassari sit top of the table with five wins from five games. They hold ten points and have not dropped a single point all season so far. To be fair, they looked comfortable enough here again.
Henna occupy 13th place after five matches as well. They have managed one win and four draws to gather just two points. That is not enough to trouble the leaders, as expected.
The home side come into this fixture full of confidence. Their recent record includes narrow wins and a comfortable victory over Chiaravalle. Henna, by contrast, have struggled to keep clean sheets in defence. They lost to Cologne and Fazzano in their last two outings.
The scoreline tells you everything about the control Sassari exerted. They did not need to chase the game once the gap opened up. And here's the thing, such margins separate the two ends of the table.
This result extends Sassari's unbeaten run further still. Henna remain rooted near the bottom despite avoiding defeat in four of their games. By then, the result was settled well before the final whistle. It leaves them with little room for error in the coming weeks.
There is a clear hierarchy forming in this division already. Sassari look like the team to beat while Henna need to find consistency. It was a straightforward afternoon for the hosts.
