A titanic feat by Cagliari Primavera who, in front of the crowd at the CRAI Sport Center , conquered the Coppa Italia final for the first time in the history of the Club, beating their peers from Juventus 2-0. Fabio Pisacane 's boys wrote a very important and unique sporting page for the club of patron Tommaso Giulini and now they are aiming for the biggest dream, winning the title.
The match immediately sees Cagliari try at the 1st minute with a double by Bolzan , but in both cases the 19 fails to find the advantage. At the 8th minute Vinciguerra shows off with a shot from the three-quarter line, Verde blocks it. At the 11th minute Grandu crosses in, Arba intercepts acting as a pass for Bolzan who, with a volley, fails to find the goal by a whisker. The game sleeps a bit until the 24th minute when Savio tries from distance, Iliev with a real miracle manages to deflect it into a corner. The black and whites become more pressing and at the 33rd minute they see Amaradio shoot from the edge, the ball ends up slightly above the crossbar. The last ten minutes of the first half do not see any particular excitement and at the 45th minute the game goes back to the locker rooms with a partial score of 0-0.
In the second half the music changes and Cagliari immediately becomes very dangerous, so much so that they unlock the match. In the 48th minute Vinciguerra intercepts a long throw, stops the ball perfectly, gets past Savio with a nice tunnel and unleashes a right-footed shot under the crossbar that makes the entire Assemini sports center explode. In the 60th minute the episode that effectively closes the match: Martinez holds Bolzan in the area and for the referee there is no doubt, the defender receives a red card and Cagliari is awarded a penalty. Bolzan himself steps up to the spot and does not miss. Strengthened by the extra man, the rossoblù immediately go in search of the third goal with the newly entered Achour from distance, but his conclusion is high. In the 75th minute Achour again finds the space to unleash the shot, Zelezny blocks it and Malfitano tries the tap-in a few steps from the goal, but wastes it by sending it over the crossbar. The Old Lady tries to respond anyway and in the 81st minute Merola appears near Iliev , but is not very precise. Two minutes after a mistake by Balde on the way out, Pugno recovers and passes to Lopez , who goes high. At 85' Ripani tries to reopen the match with a free kick, the ball ends up wide. At 90' Achour with a left-footed shot from the edge wants the third rossoblù goal, but it doesn't hit the target.
The referee awards five minutes of injury time, but Juventus fails to find the score and at the final whistle it is Cagliari who celebrates the achievement of a historic milestone for the entire Club. Now the Coppa Italia final is no longer a dream, but reality . See you on April 9, against Milan , to find out who will win the title.
