FOLLOW THE LIVE SECOND HALF OF CAGLIARI-FROSINONE HERE

A splendid goal from Michel Adopo broke the deadlock in Cagliari-Frosinone: it was the midfielder, awarded the Rossoblu MVP of the month of October in the pre-match award, who scored the 1-0 goal that sent the team to the break.

Fabio Pisacane's 3-4-2-1 formation features a surprise: Nicola Grandu, captain of the Primavera, making his professional debut . Not much happens in the opening minutes, so much so that the first noteworthy moment comes when—after 11 minutes—the Domus crowd applauds in memory of Gigi Riva, on what would have been his 82nd birthday. In the 14th minute, Trepy's left-footed shot from the edge of the box is easily blocked by Palmisani in two stages.

Romano found Mendy in the box in the 18th minute, but his right-footed shot was blocked by an opposing defender. At the other end, in the 23rd minute, Bîrligea received the ball centrally and, after moving to the left, unleashed a fine left-footed shot that went just wide. An injury—Cagliari's latest in this very unfortunate period—also forced Trepy off the pitch, leaving the pitch in tears after a tackle. In the 28th minute, Sugamele, the Primavera striker, came on . A minute later, Calò fired a fine right-footed shot from outside the area, but Caprile dived to save.

Calò, already five goals in his first ten games, had another go in the 31st minute: from a carefully-taken corner, he fired a first-time right-foot strike, but Caprile, on his post, had to intervene on the line to prevent a 0-1. It was a crucial save, because Cagliari scored in the 38th minute with a feat by Adopo, who received the ball from Mendy, advanced to twenty meters, and unleashed a perfect right-footed shot into the top corner that Palmisani could do nothing about . Frosinone responded in the 43rd minute with a left-footed strike from Kvernadze, which went over.
