Against Fiorentina it ends 0-0. Now the away match at Milan then Genoa at home, points are still needed for salvation
CAGLIARI. Cagliari decides to do the calculations with the sling and settles for a draw, 0-0 the final, with Fiorentina. In short, salvation is all to be conquered, and it will certainly be necessary that there are also favorable results from the other fields to close the season without worries.
In the meantime, Cagliari will already have to go home to Milan on Sunday in the race for the Champions League and then close at home with Genoa, which at that point will probably be safe. But, in fact, we will have to continue watching the other games, while a victory this time would probably have closed any discussion.
The breaking latest news. At 2 ‘good action rossoblù with a cross from the left by Joao Pedro and Pavoletti who hits his head but sends the ball over the crossbar. A flare-up in a game that instead immediately goes to a standstill, with the two teams in control. Until 27 ‘when the first yellow card arrives: a hard foul by Pulgar in midfield on Nainggolan.
At 33 ‘Lykogiannis steals the ball and flies to the left wing then serves behind for Joao Pedro whose shot is rebounded. Immediately after, it’s up to the Greek player of Cagliari to end up in the yellow card after a foul on Bonaventura. The 39th minute strikes when on a corner kick provided by a nice personal action by Zappa, Nainggolan with a header even anticipates Pavoletti but his conclusion is lost at the bottom.
At the start of the second half, Semplici did the opposite of Sunday’s game: this time he started with the 4-4-2, immediately corrected with the 3-5-2 of the start of Benevento, thanks to the inclusion of Carboni in place of Zappa. The game drags on, however, quite tired without great ideas. At 68 ‘, however, there is a nice launch by Duncan for Joao Pedro who runs promptly, but his ball is rebounded well by a lily defender. A minute later Marin is replaced in midfield with Deiola.
5 minutes from the end, Semplici’s move to unblock the game at the last minute: Cerri enters for Lykogiannis. Cerri has suffered the right ball served in the area but instead of kicking with a first intention, he tries control and loses the opportunity. Thus ends 0-0, another point that is added in the standings in the climb to safety. In fact, in the last 6 matches in which Cagliari have maintained their unbeaten run, 14 points have arrived that have changed the Rossoblu ranking. But the work is still to be completed in the last two races of the season.
