Cagliari goes crazy: Atalanta comeback 2-1 with Augello and Viola
A very heavy victory in terms of safety, after the away goal scored by Scamacca in the 13th minute
A flash from Viola, who came on just a few minutes ago, gave Cagliari a huge comeback victory against Atalanta, beaten 2-1.
Ranieri chooses the Oristanio-Gaetano pair behind Shomurodov, with Nandez brought back into the defense quartet. Atalanta leverages its physicality, forcing Cagliari onto the defensive.
Ederson (6') shoots high from a central position, but in the 13th minute the guests pass: from Koopmeiners to Lookman, cross from the left, Scamacca anticipates Dossena and with a shot underneath goes past Scuffet. The goal seems to please Atalanta and Cagliari tries to react. But for the first half hour the only thrill is a push into the area on Mina which Rapuano, after consulting with the VAR, lets go. In the 42nd minute, however, the equalizer arrives: Shomurodov did well to take the entire Atalanta defense for a walk and then unload for Augello, who doesn't miss the winning left-footed shot. Teams that thus go to the break tied.
Very high tension recovery, Atalanta pushes, but Cagliari doesn't give up anything. Rotations in the substitutions, with Luvumbo for Shomurodov, then Azzi, Viola and Zappa for Augello, Gaetano and Nandez . And in the 42nd minute two of the new players turned it around: a cross from the left by Luvumbo, Viola anticipated everyone with a header and made the Domus explode. The game continues for over 6 minutes after the ninetieth minute and at the closing whistle over 16,000 can cheer.
