Cagliari stops Turin: the first of the rossoblù ends 0-0
Chance for Nandez, Milinkovic Savic saves himself for a corner
Cagliari's first outing on the Turin field ended with a goalless draw.
Ranieri surprises everyone, with a three-man defense made up of Dossena, Obert and Goldaniga, a four-man midline with Zappa and Azzi as wingers, Makoumbou and Sulemana as midfielders, in front of a trio never seen before with Nandez, Oristanio and Luvumbo.
The minute of silence for Carletto Mazzone, in total silence, then we immediately set off at a very high pace. After 3' Radunovic responded brilliantly to a close header by Sanabria from a corner action. The reply is a high diagonal from Azzi (7'), but above all a right-footed shot from Nandez (15') with the miraculous diving intervention of Milinkovic Savic, who saves for a corner. And again from the corner Cagliari risked big, with a header with a sure shot from Schuurs (18') just wide.
The rest of the first half runs at a very high pace and, towards the end, Oristanio escapes Schuurs, but his diagonal ends just wide.
In the second half, we start with one change each, Di Pardo for Goldaniga and Radonjic for Karamoh. Press the Bull, Cagliari has difficulty restarting, but does not risk too much. Ranieri, in the 17th minute, also threw Jankto and Shomurodov into the fray for Oristanio and Luvumbo, with the rossoblù taking courage.
Pavoletti also enters for Nandez, in the final Deiola for Obert, betrayed by cramps. Teams destroyed by heat and fatigue, Radonjic tries in the 47th minute, Radunovic saves himself somehow. It's the ultimate thrill, Turin and Cagliari make their debut in Serie A with a 0-0 draw.
