CAGLIARI (ITALPRESS) – Cagliari finds a victory that in the championship was missing from September 19 against a Rome that in 10 men suffers the second consecutive defeat. At Unipol Domus ends 1-0 thanks to Gianluca Gaetano’s network in a second time dominated by the Sardinians after the expulsion of Celik at the beginning of recovery. Even in numerical equality, however, the Gasperini team had shown more than one difficulty in the field of Pisacane men.
Rome holds the ball in the first half (60% of the possession), but it is hard to build opportunities for goals and to contain the swamps of the Sardinians, who engage Svilar on three occasions and face several times from the parts of the yellowish area. At 7′ Borrelli exploits a fall of Ndicka to fly towards the door, but loses a time of play and undergoes the recovery of the Ivorian defender. At the 23′ Folorunsho of head does not surprise the yellow-red goalkeeper, also attentive to the conclusion of Esposito (28′) from position drawn. Gasperini’s move to side Baldanzi nine does not pay: Roma creates little and hard to share.
At 52′ change the game. It does everything or almost Folorunsho, which tears a ball on the trequarti and physically sinks onto the barrier of Mancini and Celik, which stretches the former Fiorentina just outside the area. The referee Zufferli initially assigns the penalty, but the Var decision changes: football of punishment and red directed for Turkish. At 58′ is Svilar to save the result: Obert in the area gets rid of Ndicka and kicks in safe barrel, but the outgoing yellow door closes the shutter. Rome replicates with a triple change: outside Soulè, Pilgrims and Crisen; inside Ferguson, Dybala and El Aynaoui. The situation does not change. Shortly after another chance for Cagliari: Esposito rewards the central insertion of Deiola, which strikes without giving strength but still forcing Svilar to slender.
The most dangerous man of Cagliari is Palestra that at 77′ sinks on the right: Jump Ghilardi, go back to the left and look for a cross shot that ends on the bottom. The net is in the air and comes on corner football. Not with a blow of head, but with the Gaetano class, he breaks his chest on the Ghilardi hole and crosses the net with the right of counterbalzo.
In the final, nervousness reigns: little is played between failures and errors. It is the prologue for the festival of Cagliari that leads to 14 points in the standings. Roma remain 27 waiting for the commitments against Como and Juventus.
