Cagliari and Benevento go to rest on 0-0. Ranieri changed three compared to Modena, between necessity and choice, with the returns of Obert and Mancosu and the first time from the first minute of Prelec.
The rossoblù immediately take possession of the match and, after 4', a free-kick by Mancosu does not find the right deflection.
In the 19th minute the list of unavailable players lengthened, with Kourfalidis forced to leave the field due to a blow to the back, replaced by Lella.
On 28' the most clamorous opportunity, with Mancosu launching Prelec and the Slovenian, all alone, gets hypnotized by Paleari.
In the 33rd minute the sides reversed, with an assist from Prelec and a flying turn from the number 5, which ends just wide.
This is the last chance of the first half, which ends after 3' of added time at 0-0.
