Sassuolo's 2-1 win over Pescara on Sunday night at the Mapei Stadium has been overturned and been recorded as a 3-0 away victory.
Eusebio Di Francesco's men picked up the points thanks to goals from Gregoire Defrel and Domenico Berardi, with Rey Manaj's goal not enough for the Delfini on the night.
However, that result has now been deemed invalid by the Lega Serie A due to Sassuolo's use of a player who was not properly registered, namely Antonino Ragusa.
Ragusa played the final 25 minutes or so of the contest, replacing Matteo Politano.
The signing of the 26-year-old midfielder was completed on August 26, a day after Sassuolo had submitted their 25-man squad for the opening game to the Lega.
To include a new signing in an updated squad list, the club has to replace a player who has previously been registered in the list, notifying the Lega Serie A of the change.
Sassuolo claim that they have properly followed that procedure but the Lega have alleged that no follow-up squad list was received by them.
Despite the fact that Pescara made no complaint themselves about the result, the sporting justice system have forfeited Sunday night's result and overturned it to a 3-0 win for the Delfini.
