At the ‘Virgilio Porcu’ stadium in Selargius, Cagliari won 6-0 against the local team, which plays in the Promozione championship. The red-and-blue team, with a reduced number of players absent due to commitments with the national teams and personalised work programmes, and the tour of Sardinia that continues under the banner of the passion of the many fans who flocked to the stands today in search of excitement, goals, photos and autographs.
Cagliari with mourning on its arm to honour the memory of Joe Barone, Fiorentina’s recently deceased general manager. After the minute’s silence, the match got underway and in the 6th minute Wieteska sent a header high, the first chance of the sunny Selargino afternoon. In the 18th minute, Viola from outside, a left-footed shot that grazed the post. In the 26th minute the first goal: Jankto’s header converted Deiola’s cross. Viola doubled the score on the half-hour mark, and from inside the area he perfectly curled his left-footed shot at the far post. There were many chances for Cagliari but the scoreline did not change before half-time, with Argiolas kicking a penalty on the crossbar in the 44th minute. In the second half, in the 53rd minute, Viola on a penalty kick made no mistake for his hat-trick and personal double. Many, of course, were the opportunities produced by Cagliari, and in the 61st minute came the poker through Augello, imitated in the 70th minute by Marcolini for 5-0. In the 76th minute Kingstone’s great goal: a personal action by the Zambian who strikes the goalkeeper.
A good test to continue working ahead of the next engagement, on Easter Monday at the Unipol Domus against Hellas Verona.
