Cagliari, a point in Emilia: against Sassuolo it ends 2-2

Draw for Cagliari on the 13th matchday of Serie A. The away match against Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium ends 2-2.

Scamacca breaks the equilibrium in the first half, but Keita manages to find the balance with a Eurogol in scissoring. At the beginning of the second half, Baroni conceded two penalties, one on each side: Berardi made no mistake and Joao Pedro made no mistake.

LINE -UP - The absence of Godin, not called up, stands out in the match at Mapei Stadium. Mister Mazzarri lined up Cragno, Zappa, Ceppitelli, Carboni, Lykogiannis, Bellanova, Marin, Grassi, Nandez, Joao Pedro and Keita Baldè from the start, returning after tonsil surgery.

Dionisi responds with Consiglio, Toljan, Ayhan, Ferrari, Rogerio, Frattesi, Lopez, Traorè, Berardi, Raspadori and Scamacca.

Race direction entrusted to the referee Niccolò Baroni of Florence.

FIRST HALF - The match is played on a heavy pitch and with looming fog. Cagliari starts closed and compact and Sassuolo tries to play the game.

After 7 minutes Frattesi enters dangerously in the area and shoots at the net, but finding an excellent response from Cragno. 5 minutes later it is Scamacca who has the opportunity for the advantage, but the number 91 of the Emilians sends high from a good position.

Around half an hour the first chance of Cagliari: cross from the right by Zappa, Bellanova tries to fly, but Consigli is reactive. Then again Cagliari, with Ceppitelli, who heads a corner from a little high.

At 37th the hosts took the lead: Marin loses a duel in midfield with Traore, the ball then reaches Scamacca who burns Carboni, enters the area and beats Cragno 1-0.

But the response of the Sardinians comes almost immediately. And what an answer: Nandez frees himself very well on the right and crosses in the middle for Keita who invents a scissor kick from the film library: crossbar and goal that is worth 1-1.

SECOND HALF - The teams return to the field without changes. And the first occasion is for Sassuolo: the usual Frattesi sows havoc on the right, the ball goes to Berardi who closes the shot too much and sends to the side.

In the following action again Frattesi liquidates Lykogiannis, the Greek spreads him out and Baroni concedes the penalty. Berardi shows up on the spot, making no mistake: Cragno displaced and a new Emilian advantage.

At 10 ', however, it is the omnipresent Frattesi to land Joao Pedro in the heart of the area. The penalty this time is for Cagliari: Joao does not let himself be hypnotized by Consiglio and achieves the 2-2.

The game goes by briskly and becomes more fought. At 77 'Mazzarri's first changes arrive: in Caceres instead of Zappa and Deiola instead of Grassi.

Shortly before 80 'Defrel tries, but Cragno is very good at repelling and saving the 2-2.

In closing, Mazzarri also throws Pavoletti and Oliva, removing Keita and Marin.

Baroni grants 4 minutes of recovery, but nothing happens.

At the triple whistle Cagliari breaks the streak of consecutive defeats by returning to Sardinia with a point in their pocket.
