Benevento defender Federico Barba deflected the ball into his own net just before the break as he was attempting to prevent a cross from Jeremie Boga from reaching Giacomo Raspadori.
Boga then hit the crossbar midway through the second half on Monday.
Sassuolo moved up to eighth on the table, two points ahead of Hellas Verona.
Benevento remained 16th, eight points above the drop zone. Filippo Inzaghi's squad has not won at home since December.
