The Cagliari Primavera, with a great performance, beat the Genoa of the great former Alessandro Agostini 2-1 and temporarily moved to -1 from the playoff zone. The rossoblù, now at 47 points, must hope for the missteps of their direct competitors, in particular Sassuolo and Turin , who will take to the field tomorrow against Fiorentina and Bologna respectively. If both were to win, the question of qualifying for the Scudetto play-offs would be definitively over for the Rossoblu. While if they were to draw or even lose, the Sardinians would play their last chances in the last round of the championship, away to Hellas, scheduled for next weekend.

The race
In the first half, Cagliari crushed Grifone in their own half. After a series of chances, the balance was broken just before half-time. It was Bolzan , in the 46th minute, who gave the Sardinian team the lead with a tap-in in front of goal, with a header following Calvani's rebound after Vinciguerra's shot. In the second half, Pisacane's team doubled their lead in the 56th minute. Carboni , with a soft touch, mocks the Genoa goalkeeper. Cagliari manages without problems until the 80th minute. Then the guests come out and find the goal of the flag in full injury time, from a corner, with Abdellaoui's header.

The words of the Cagliari coach, Fabio Pisacane
«We are very happy. It was an important match for the league table but above all for the path undertaken in the summer which made us grow day after day. We wanted to get a victory, making up for the first leg where the emotional factor had a huge impact for some. Also because we found ourselves against, as coach, Alessandro Agostini, who is one of the family. We interpreted the match very well in all aspects, hitting at the right time and suffering in some situations, as it should be. These are three points that repay us beyond the rankings. Playoffs? From day one I told the guys to think step by step. Today, with one day to go, we are trying to hold on to that thread of hope that we have created for ourselves. We know that if we don't get there, it will only be due to our own demerit. But the fact remains that the foundations for the future have been laid. A regret? You have to take mistakes into account but we are also indebted to luck. We could have had those 3-4 more points. If we think, for example, of the matches against Sampdoria, both the first leg and the second leg, we could have scored six points but instead we only collected one. Perhaps a match that we made mistakes in our journey, and which we shouldn't have made mistakes, is the one at home against Monza. The greatest satisfaction? Seeing these guys give everything, especially those who train 3-4 times within 15 days."
