Great achievement by Cagliari Primavera.

The young rossoblù narrowly beat Juventus at the CRAI Sport center in the opening match of the 26th matchday.

The success against the Bianconeri relaunches Pisacane's team in the playoff race (now 4 points apart), waiting for the Monza-Sassuolo match scheduled for tomorrow at 3pm.

From the first minutes we see an aggressive Cagliari, with Sulev and Vinciguerra. However, the Sardinians took a risk in the 10th minute, on Crappisto's header. Achour came close to scoring the lead in the 22nd minute with a free kick from the edge of the box which was neutralized by Radu. Then few emotions, until the interval.

In the second half Cagliari approached along the lines of the first half and broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with Achour : served in the area by Vinciguerra, the French-Algerian center forward was cool in front of Radu. Pisacane's team came close to doubling their lead ten minutes later with Marini and then managed the advantage, conceding something, but without particular risks until the 90th minute.

The Cagliari coach, Fabio Pisacane, was particularly satisfied : «We knew it would be a complicated match. It was unthinkable to spend ninety minutes on boarding. In the end we should have managed it better, to avoid risks. I inserted Marini to lift Idrissi and take Juve man to man. This allowed us to further unite and defend this precious advantage."

The Cagliari coach also focuses on the path taken by his boys: « Today's success is the result of these months of work, in which, day after day, we grew together. We came from the defeat in Empoli, where, due to a series of factors, we were unable to express ourselves as we know how. We are a team that is aware of its capabilities, that knows its limits and that does not accept alibis to explain a defeat or a less positive moment. This is my belief and I try to pass it on to the kids, who follow me a lot and who are a pleasure to work with."
