Bologna-Cagliari 0-1 at 45': Piccoli strikes with a great goal for the lead

The first half of Bologna-Cagliari ends 0-1: Roberto Piccoli breaks the deadlock in the 22nd minute, at the end of a great combination with Tommaso Augello.

Bologna immediately had a chance, Calabria (debuting as a starter for the Felsinei) received the ball on the edge of the area in the 3rd minute and let loose a shot that went out and went out by a hair's breadth. Twenty minutes without any major shocks, then Cagliari scored on the first real chance: Piccoli controlled the midfield and started in progression, drawing the entire home defense towards him and passing to Augello who crossed perfectly, finding the perfect insertion of number 91, whose header beat Skorupski . It was 0-1 in the 22nd minute.

A shot from Orsolini that went wide and a cross from the former Lykogiannis for Fabbian who didn't reach it were the attempts with which Bologna tried to respond to Cagliari's goal of the lead. On the other side, Luperto headed the ball high from a corner, but the referee signalled a push on Lucumí. Likewise, in the 39th minute, he saw a foul in attack by Fabbian on Luperto: he whistled for it at the end of the action, after the number 80 had crossed for Castro who had failed to deflect it from two steps away .

At the end of the half, Caprile's first save in two stages, in the 43rd minute on a right-footed cross from Castro inside the area. Half-time after two minutes of recovery.
