Nothing doing for Cagliari 's Primavera team who, at Viola Park , during a match affected by strong winds, were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Fiorentina .
The first part of the match was slow paced as the two teams preferred to study each other rather than hurt each other. The first chance came in the 18th minute with a great shot from distance by Liteta , Vannucchi was good at deflecting it into a corner. In the 28th minute Trepy served a great ball to Vinciguerra who tried to finish, but Vannucchi was once again attentive and averted the danger. In the 31st minute Marcolini took a free kick from distance, but the Viola goalkeeper cleared it away. In the 38th minute Fiorentina showed up near Iliev with Rubino who found space to shoot, narrowly missing the goal. One minute later Rubino was there again, but Iliev saved in two stages. In the 42nd minute Ievoli replaced Tarantino , but the goalkeeper beat everyone to it and blocked it.
In the second half, Pisacane 's team attacked again in the 52nd minute with Vinciguerra who sprinted towards the home team's goal, Kouadio closed well on the Cagliari striker. Four minutes later, Rubino served an interesting ball to Scuderi , but the rossoblù defense blocked the incursion. In the 59th minute, Ievoli had a golden opportunity, but sent it high. In the 65th minute, Marini committed a foul in the area on Rubino and for the referee there was no doubt, it was a penalty. Rubino himself stepped up to the spot and missed the penalty in a sensational way, sending it high.
Just four minutes and Rubino , on a cross from Balbo , heads past Iliev , sealing the Viola's lead. Cagliari's response comes in the 72nd minute with a volley from Vinciguerra , the conclusion ends up over the crossbar. In the 79th minute Grandu tries to find Bolzan , but the 19th fails to connect with the ball. In the 87th minute Grandu tries to cross for his teammates, Vannucchi parries. In the 88th minute Fiorentina doubles their lead: taking advantage of a counterattack, Rubino frees himself from his marking and slips the ball under Iliev 's legs for 2-0, definitively closing the match.
