Ghanaian duo Kevin-Prince Boateng and Joseph Alfred Duncan were on  the score sheet for US Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia on Sunday.

The Green and Blacks progressed to the next round of the competition after thrashing Ternana 5-1 at the Mapei Stadium.

Boateng scored on his competitive debut in the 9th minute to put the home team ahead in ninth minute.

A brace from Domenico Berardi and other goals from Francesco Magnanelli and Alfred Duncan completed their heavy home victory as Marino Defendi got the consolation goal for Ternana.

Boateng joined Sassuolo on a three year deal from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.
