Cagliari Primavera wins narrowly against Bologna, 1-0

Third success in a row - the second in the league - for Cagliari Primavera. Pisacane's team, after having secured the pass to the round of 32 of the Italian Cup this week, also managed to beat Bologna. Pulina's goal was decisive, arriving in the 78th minute. In the first half balance reigned, with the two teams allowing little space. The first jolt comes from Idrissi who, from the development of a corner kick, unleashes a very poisonous left-footed shot fouled by a Bolognese defender in the corner. Nothing to report until the break other than a save by Iliev on Menegazzo at the end of the first half. In the second half we see an aggressive Cagliari right from the start. Vinciguerra wasted a sensational chance at the start to break the deadlock: the attacker, after having penetrated the area, incredibly missed the target in front of Bagnoli. In the 58th minute Bologna responds with a free kick with Baroncini but Iliev is reactive and puts it in the corner. Cagliari struggled in the last pass and Pisacane decided in the 20th minute to change formation, going from 4-3-1-2 to 4-2-3-1, with Pulina moved to the left side. The tactical move proves decisive. The rossoblù, in fact, found the opening goal in the 78th minute with Pulina, who did well to finalize an action started on the right by Vinciguerra and developed by Arba and Achour. The Sardinians took a risk in the 81st minute on Byar's curling shot from the edge. In the final the guests try but the Cagliari defense holds up well. It ends 1-0 for Cagliari who fly to 7 points in the standings.

Pisacane's words

«Today I am happy. The boys played the game they had to play and were good at interpreting everything I asked of them. We knew the value of Bologna, a team that should be waited for because it has great qualities and that if pressed does what it does best, that of coming out with phrasing. When coach Vigiani changed the tactical structure, we had to respond with a change of formation, moving to 4-2-3-1. This allowed us to stay wider on the right with Caddeo and create that space from which the goal action then emerged. In the end, the module change paid off. Kingstone? He didn't play because he wasn't at 100%, having suffered a sprained ankle in yesterday's match."
