Mister Pisacane’s team lines up with Iliev in goal; Cogoni, Pintus, and Marini in defense; Arba and Langella on the wings, along with Marcolini, Sulev, and Malfitano completing the midfield; in attack, the French duo Achour-Trepy.
FIRST HALF
The match begins with a very aggressive start from Roma, who take the lead in the 6th minute thanks to a precise long-range shot from Romano that surprises Iliev. However, Pisacane’s boys don’t lose heart and respond energetically. In the 23rd minute, after a great offensive combination, Langella delivers a perfect cross for Achour, who finishes first time to beat the Roma goalkeeper, leveling the score. With the score at 1-1, the two teams head into halftime after an intense first half.
SECOND HALF

In the 58th minute, a defensive error from Roma allows Trepy to capitalize, slotting the ball past the opposing goalkeeper and giving the rossoblù the lead. Roma tries to respond, but Cagliari’s defense and goalkeeper Iliev prove decisive, with the rossoblù number 1 making several crucial saves to keep the net intact. The final whistle blows, sealing a 2-1 victory, a win that confirms the growth of the rossoblù team. Now, the team prepares for their next Coppa Italia match, a semifinal against Juventus, scheduled for Wednesday, March 12.
