MATCH REPORT | Cagliari-Hellas Verona 4-0

A beautiful, resounding, and important victory for the rossoblù, who beat Hellas Verona 4-0 at Unipol Domus and earned three crucial points in their bid to stay up.

Pisacane confirms the lineup that beat Juventus and Fiorentina, with Caprile in goal; Zé Pedro, Mina, Luperto, and Obert in defense; Gaetano plays in midfield with Adopo and Mazzitelli alongside; Palestra suggests Esposito and Kilicsoy on the right.

In the sixth minute, Sarr was booked for a dangerous tackle on Mazzitelli: it would prove to be a key moment in the match. In the 18th minute, Orban fired over, and in the 19th, Mazzitelli fired a magnificent shot into the corner, but Perilli cleared it for a corner. But in the 36th minute, Mazzitelli himself broke the deadlock: a well-played move, Obert back-heeled the Roman free, who scored with a left-footed strike to make it 1-0. At the end, a move led to Esposito’s shot, a right-footed shot from the top edge of the area. And in the 48th minute, the second came: a superb half-volley from Kilicsoy, following a VAR review, sent Unipol Domus into a frenzy.

At the start of the second half, Sarr made a late save on Zé Pedro, who was shown a yellow and a red card in the 51st minute. The match was effectively over, Cagliari calmly controlling the pace and then running riot in the closing stages: in the 84th minute, Sulemana made it three in front of goal after Perilli saved Adopo, who headed home a corner from Luperto’s shot, which was saved by the goalkeeper. In the 90th minute, Idrissi made it four with a header from a perfect cross from Zappa.

Perfect match, the stadium rejoices, Cagliari is mid-table.
