Primavera, Fiorentina defeated
In Assemini, Cagliari Primavera defeats Fiorentina 2-0 in a convincing victory, after a hard-fought match influenced by the strong Maestrale wind and the cold sweeping across the island.
FIRST HALF
The match starts evenly, with both teams studying each other without pushing too aggressively. Fiorentina presses with the wind at their back, attempting long-range shots (Iliev remains vigilant). Cagliari is always dangerous on the Vinciguerra-Simonetta-Kingstone axis. The rossoblù have a good chance in the 25th minute with Vinciguerra, but his shot is denied by a great save from Vannucchi. Fiorentina responds in the 22nd minute with Elia, whose header goes just over the crossbar. The game opens up in the 41st minute: from a corner kick, after another save by Vannucchi on Simonetta, Kingstone strikes a messy but effective shot that beats the goalkeeper and gives Cagliari the lead. Fiorentina closes the first half attacking, but without troubling Iliev.
SECOND HALF
The second half begins with heavy rain and strong winds continuing to affect the game. Fiorentina tries to react, but Cagliari remains alert. In the 76th minute, the rossoblù double their lead: Kingstone is again decisive, leaping higher than everyone else to head in the ball from a corner, making it 2-0. A minute later, Cagliari has a chance to make it 3-0, but Trepy misses the penalty, sending it wide. In the final minutes, Cagliari defends against Fiorentina’s attacks without trouble, securing a well-deserved victory that boosts their position in the standings.
