A mocking draw for Cagliari, who after having dominated, are restarted at the end of the game by Sudtirol with a penalty from the former Larrivey.
Ranieri focuses on copy and paste, confirming in Toto the eleven that, before the break, he had cleared Reggio Calabria. And the rossoblù immediately start the assault, closing the guests in their own half. The pressure leads, after 10', to a spectacular goal by Mancosu, in a semi-forward kick from the edge, but the Var sees an offside from Lapadula at the start.
Cagliari, however, didn't let go and Poluzzi had to intervene on a diagonal from Zappa. In the 24th minute, the goalkeeper fumbles again on Azzi's cross, with Nandez heading just over.
In the 30th minute the usual Lapadula takes care of it, who sees his first conclusion retaliated, but which he scores on the second attempt.
At the end of time, Rover flicked, but his conclusion with a sure shot was miraculously saved by Radunovic.
In the second half, the guests try to raise the center of gravity and, in the 12th minute, shivers for Radunovic with a diagonal shot just wide of De Col. In the 19th minute, Mancosu invents in the area and Curto practically saves on the line.
Ranieri sees his team in difficulty and removes Nandez, Prelec and Mancosu, replaced by Kourfalidis, Luvumbo and Altare. Cagliari nearly scored again with Lapadula (saved) and Luvumbo (out).
Then, in the 42nd minute, when the victory seems to be secured, the Var, again him, draws a biscuit hand from Zappa on Lunetta's shot and the former Larrivey, who has just entered, displaces Radunovic from the spot and makes it 1-1. A bitter April fool for the rossoblùs, who see third place further away.
