Joao Pedro takes a penalty in the 10th minute of the second half. Now the third last place is three points
UDINE. Three more points for Cagliari. Against Udinese at the Dacia Arena comes a very heavy 1-0 victory. A success that allows Cagliari to continue to hope for salvation. The away draws in Turin and Benevento allow the rossoblù to gnaw only two points in the standings, but in the meantime the team has shown that it is alive and ready to fight to the end. In six days the rossoblù must recover three points, a difficult but not impossible undertaking. The match was decided on 10 ‘of the second half by Joao Pedro on a penalty kick. Then the team was able to defend themselves with order until the end.
The breaking latest news. Cagliari starts forward and at 1 ‘the shot is already going with Asamoah, deployed on the left wing and on his debut as a starter, who however badly hits the ball that is easy prey for the Udine goalkeeper. At 4 ‘, on the development of a corner, Godin shoots on goal and on the trajectory Carboni intervenes by deflecting the ball on the post. Cagliari is more concrete in the shooting area, as in the 23 ‘, when Musso has a hard time rejecting a fine right-footed shot from Marin’s distance. At 26 ‘, however, it’s up to Vicario to warm up his gloves on a nice shot by Asrlan. At 35 ‘Nainggolan is launched by Carboni, enters the area but his left from an excellent position is too angled.
Goal canceled. At 37 ‘Cagliari scores with Joao Pedro, but the Var recalls Guida who cancels for a foul by Marin on Forestieri not seen by the referee. Joao tries to make up for it in the 46th minute when he heads a cross from the right, but the trajectory is central and the ball is intercepted by the goalkeeper.
The decisive rigor. At 7 ‘it starts again with a great shot from the edge of Nainggolan, which is deflected for a corner by a defender. At 8 ‘again the Var with Molina who has a wide arm on a header by Carboni. Guide watches the replay then decrees the penalty. Joao Pedro this time does not combine the mess like in Florence and bags with a strong and very precise right on which Musso’s dive is not enough to neutralize the ball. The Cagliari captain scores after 5 dry matches, signing his 14th seasonal center.
Nainggolan misses Roma. At 13 ‘Nainggolan steals the ball but is stopped by the referee for a foul. The protests of the Belgian are so vehement that the referee warns him and so he will miss the next match because he was warned, Sunday’s match against Roma. Two minutes later a great shot from the edge of Deiola that ends up on the bottom after a lucky deviation of the defense. At 19 ‘, with Cagliari lowering too much, here is the newly entered Nestorovski who hits the top of the crossbar with his head.
Good Vicar. At 26 ‘Nestorovski has a sensational ball close to Vicario, after an injury by Asamoah, but sends the ball wide. At 32 ‘a double change by Semplici to try to bring the team back up with the inputs of Simeone and Duncan for Joao Pedro and Deiola. At 36’ Vicario again in evidence with a parade on the conclusion of Braaf. Then the final assault of the Friulians with Cagliari which however defends itself with order and maintains the precious advantage until the end.
