Great rossoblù test: Pavoletti and Godin touch the coup in the second half
MILAN. First the party for the salvation won in advance thanks to Crotone who drew in Benevento, then the cake, with the icing of the very prestigious 0-0 draw on the Milna field, held back in the Champions race. The rossoblù with this match and this result showed that falling into the deep pit of the relegation nightmare was really undeserved for the team’s worth.
Leonardo Semplici, called by president Giulini when Cagliari was in a desperate situation 15 rounds from the end of the tournament, therefore completes the masterpiece with a new external result against a great one, as had already happened in Naples. Seventh consecutive useful result and interruption of AC Milan’s winning streak against Cagliari, who had lost 15 consecutive games on this field.
It was a very nice match from Cagliari that. in the second half, he even came close to scoring on two occasions with Pavoletti and Godin and Milan was saved by Donnarumma. In short, the match was very well prepared on the eve, and the fact that the rossoblù took the field free from the weight that accompanied them for three months, was decisive in the final result.
The breaking latest news. At 4 ‘Milan’s first shot in goal with Rebic trying the diagonal that touches the post to the right of Cragno who was still on the trajectory. The reply shortly after with Lykogiannis who flies to the left then shoots a cross on which Kjaer anticipates Pavoletti well placed in front of Donnarumma by a whisker. The 18 ‘strikes when, on a mistake by Nandez, the ball reaches the edge of the area to Saelemaekers who shoots a blow under the crossbar finding Cragno ready to respond.
At half an hour Calabria tries to break the deadlock with a great shot from distance which, however, is lost on the bottom. Cagliari then collects a series of corner kicks with Carboni and Pavoletti coming close to the target. In the final thrill for two free kicks in favor of Milan but first Theo Hernandez and then Calhanoglu waste.
He pushes Milan at the start of the second half, but in the 9th minute it is Cagliari that goes very close to the advantage: a cross from Joao Pedro and a header from Pavoletti who is rejected with a spectacular reflex from Donnarumma. At 20 ‘, on a corner kick it is Godin with a poisonous header that touches the goal, but once again it is Donnarumma who says no to the rossoblù advantage. 12 minutes from the end two changes in Cagliari with Cerri and Duncan taking over Pavoletti and Marin. At 37 ‘Castillejo tries from a tight angle but Cragno saves.
New changes at 40 ‘with Asamoah, Rugani and Klavan for Deiola, Carboni and Ceppitelli. The changes do not change the robust defense of Cagliari, which resists the latest disorderly assaults from Milan. Now the Rossoneri will have to win at Atalanta to secure the Champions League. Cagliari, on the other hand, will enjoy a week of relaxation before the final match at home against Genoa. It will be a party at the Sardegna Arena, albeit to a lesser extent, since even on that occasion the fans will not be able to be in the stands.
