The first half of Dall'Ara between Bologna and Cagliari ends goalless for the last match of the round of 32 of the Italian Cup.

An experimental Cagliari, the one deployed at the start by Liverani, with Aresti in goal, Zappa, Obert, Capradossi and Barreca in defense, Lella, Viola and Kourfalidis in the middle, Pereiro (with the captain's armband), Lapadula and Millico in front.

I start at a small trot and with many errors, but it is Bologna that tries, on the 6 'with Sansone and on the 11' with Zirkzee, but Aresti is always ready to intervene. Liverani's team tries above all to defend themselves and at 18 'it is Aresti again to intervene on Bonifazi's header, from a corner action. In the first half hour, Cagliari can only be seen with two long-distance attempts by Barreca and Kourfalidis that go far beyond.

At 33 'Samson's left diagonal again and Aresti's quick response again, back on the pitch after more than two years (last match with Olbia on 30 June 2020). At 38 ', surprisingly, Cagliari close to the advantage: left from the edge of Barreca and the ball that stops on the crossbar of Bardi.

From one thrill to another, at 39 'Schouten puts an uncertain Aresti, but the referee Camplone cancels for offside signaled by the Var. And the first half ends up 0-0.
