A real salvation shot yesterday against Cagliari. With the victory over Sassuolo - which came after five defeats in a row - and the concomitant defeats of Venice and Genoa, the rossoblùs reached +6 in the relegation zone.

A fundamental step forward that allows the Sardinians to target even the fifth from last place, occupied by a Sampdoria in full crisis and with only one point more in the standings.

Salvation is far from conquered. Venezia has a game to recover and could potentially go to -3, while Salernitana's victory at Marassi shuffles the cards. Even the Campania region can theoretically hope for the feat: they have 19 points against Cagliari's 28, but also two games to recover, one at home against Venezia, the other on Wednesday in Udine.

In short, a very fluid situation. Especially in consideration of the calendar, which for Cagliari sees three direct matches away in the last five games. We start next Sunday on the Genoa field, then Verona arrives at the Domus, then we go to Salerno. We return to the Domus to host Inter and the championship ends in Venice, in what could be - but we hope it is not - a heart-pounding match in which salvation is played.

Yesterday's game bodes well. Excellent signs after 5 knockouts in a row. Match dominated especially in the first half, Cagliari almost never took risks and the only flaw was not to close it, risking in the final with that acrobatic Raspadori. A victory in Genoa could give the definitive shock, a defeat could dramatically reopen the games.
