First half of excellent level with Marin and Strootman in great shape and three rossoblù goals
CAGLIARI. Cagliari’s season starts well, passing the round of the Italian Cup by beating Pisa 3-1 at Unipol domus and qualifying for the round of 32 where they will face the Cittadella on 15 December. Put aside the distress of the market, the rossoblùs give the public, finally back on the stands, an evening of good football. However, everything to check again for Leonardo Semplici’s team at the first of the championship, set for Monday 23 August always at home against Spezia.
Burst goals in the first fraction after such a so-so start with a goal canceled on each side for offside, and the rossoblù who militarily occupied the Tuscan half of the pitch, accelerating from 26 ‘onwards on a Pisa, a team that plays in B, appeared quite evanescent . First a great save by Nicolas from Joao Pedro’s head, then Marin’s goal in the 28th minute who, after exchanging with the Brazilian and taking advantage of a rebound, discards the goalkeeper and deposits comfortably on the net.
The goal further ignites the red and blue ardor: at 33 ‘Zappa’s post on Dalbert’s cross while at 36’ there is a doubling on the development of a corner. Marin beats and Godin intervenes with his head, the ball hits the Pisan Caracciolo and ends up behind the visiting goalkeeper. It is an own goal but it is also 2-0 for the rossoblùs who round up in the last of the 4 minutes of injury time granted by referee Manganiello. Sardinian brand network: Carboni crosses from the left and on the other side there is the decisive deviation of Deiola.
In the second half we start at a slow pace and at 67 ‘Pisa shortens the distance on the developments of a corner of Sibilli well gored by Masucci. Cagliari controls and just 8 ‘from the end Ceppitelli, who took over from Godin, touches the fourth goal from Marin’s throw.
