This time Cagliari fails to make a comeback and Torino takes home a very heavy 2-1 .
Gigi Riva is present everywhere, in the shirts during the warm-up and in those that Cagliari uses in the match, in the playlist and in the minute of reflection before the referee Colombo's whistle.
Ranieri is aiming for the 3-4-3 that put Juric in difficulty in the first leg, with Hatzidiakos, Dossena and Wieteska in front of Scuffet, Zappa, Makoumbou, Sulemana and Azzi in the middle and, in front, a trio that sees Nandez and Jankto wide and Petagna central reference point. Slow start, until the new stop at minute 11, always to remember the bomber. Meanwhile, Cagliari loses Sulemana to injury, replaced by Prati.
Toro leads and in the 23rd minute Bellanova escapes, uncatchable, and assists Zapata, who opens the score in front of goal . Cagliari suffers and Scuffet keeps them afloat with at least three prodigious interventions . On the other hand, Jankto is the most dangerous with three shots towards the Granata goal: on two occasions he saves Milinkovic-Savic, on another it is Linetty who saves with the goalkeeper beaten. In the 48th minute the blow arrives with Ricci who runs away from Wieteska and then passes Scuffet on the way out .
In the second half, Ranieri left Hatzidiakos and Jankto in the changing rooms and inserted Viola and Pavoletti. It's a completely different match, with Cagliari throwing themselves into the attack , risking the Granata counterattack. Come and go, in the 32nd minute here is the magic of Viola who reopens the match with a left-footed shot . Cagliari insists, pushed by Domus. In the 47th minute Toro seemed to have closed it with Pellegri, but the attacker's goal was disallowed due to offside by Vojvoda . The last thrill in the 51st minute, but Lapadula, two steps from the goal, fails to push it in . It ends with a defeat that hurts and closes the darkest week.
