After a lot of suffering, Mina's liberating goal ended the first half of Cagliari-Parma, ending 1-0. Pisacane's team dominated the visitors' lead for half an hour before finally taking the lead with a defender who had just returned from South America.
The Rossoblù took to the field wearing their new fourth jersey, unveiled yesterday , and a 4-3-2-1 formation with Gaetano and Esposito behind Belotti. Parma had the first big chance (a double): in the 8th minute, Mina's mistake caused Pellegrino to race forward, but his shot was blocked by Caprile, who produced a miracle save from Cutrone's sure-fire rebound .
Cagliari suffered under Parma's high pressing and rarely managed to get past the midfield, at least for the first half hour. Cutrone almost scored a goal in the 20th minute, hitting a cross from the right by Løvik in the center of the area with his face and sending the ball wide. After a nearly three-minute cooling-off period (necessary, given the scorching heat at Unipol Domus), Parma threatened again: in the 30th minute, Adopo lost the ball, Bernabé skipped past Prati and passed Cutrone on the right for a shot at the near post, well-defended by Caprile, who saved in two stages .
Gaetano made his presence felt in the 33rd minute, with a right-footed shot from the edge of the box that was deflected for a corner. The shot was blocked by the visiting defense, Obert played it to the far post for Belotti to head in the six-yard box, Suzuki fumbled it, and Mina tapped in the rebound to make it 1-0 in the 33rd minute . This was the Colombian's second goal of the week, following his 3-6 win in Venezuela-Colombia on Tuesday night in the World Cup qualifiers. At the end of the half (42nd minute), Cutrone had two attempts after a mistake by Adopo, but the Cagliari defense held him back.
Four minutes of injury time conceded by Fourneau.
