Embarrassing defense (9 goals in three games). Useless goals from Joao Pedro on a penalty and Ceppitelli, the Grifone goes back and wins
CAGLIARI. At Cagliari the perfect suicide succeeds. Leading 2-0 in the 11th minute of the second half, he managed to get back up and beat 3-2 by a Genoa that was not at all transcendental. The excuse for absences, like that of Pavoletti out at the last moment and in any case replaced by a good Keita Baldè, is worth little. After all, what stands out is the midfield filter and the defense that make your wrists tremble: 9 goals conceded in just 3 games are a wake-up call not to be underestimated.
First thrill in the 9th minute: Dalbert flies on the left wing and crosses in the center catching Zappa with the Genoa defense displaced, but the winger kicks the ball. At 12 ‘a goal from Joâo Pedro was canceled for offside.
At 14 ‘penalty for Cagliari: Marin serves Keita in the area who is knocked down by Sabelli. Flawless transformation of Joâo Pedro, in his third season marking.
At the beginning of the second half, a change in defense for Cagliari with the entry on the right of the newly arrived Caceres for Walukiewicz. After 9 minutes it also touches Nandez for the rookie, in rossoblù, Grassi.
Just Nandez is immediately arrembante on 11 ‘with a penetrating action on the right that gives a corner to Cagliari. From the flag beats Marin and on the perfect trajectory the gored for the 2-0 goal signed by Ceppitelli.
Joy does not last long and turns into a nightmare. Genoa returned to the game in the 14th minute with a header from Destro well served in the area by Cambiaso, with the home defense guilty passive.
At 19 ‘new change to give new life to the rossoblù of Semplici: inside Farias and Bellanova for the excellent Keita and Zappa.But Genoa is more proactive and literally in a competitive trance, insists and completes the comeback on 24’ with the goal Fares headed in a corner kick. And in the 32 ‘comes the overtaking of Fares again on a cross from the devastating Cambiaso from the right.
In the final, Farias first tries to catch up, but his right is too angled. And then just at the end Joao Pedro served by an unfortunate back pass from Cambiaso, shoots two meters high from goalkeeper Sirigu. So Cagliari is already in crisis: 1 point in three games, two of which are played at home against affordable opponents. In short, the championship of Semplici is already complicated.
