He won, like it hasn't happened since mid-October. But Cagliari closed the day of the three points against Perugia amidst disputes. Here's who goes up and who goes down among the rossoblùs.

Who goes up: Filippo Falco

The right man in the right place, between the lines, behind the Lapadula-Pavoletti couple. It gives substance, quality and, above all, concrete solutions in the last sixteen metres. He thinks and plays vertically and, not surprisingly, all the most beautiful and articulated actions pass from his feet. The keystone in the match against the Umbrians. He also proves to have a good harmony with Nandez and in general with his offensive teammates. Valuable even in the defensive phase, a tough nut to crack, thus becoming the added midfielder the team needs to keep balance. Attacking midfielder of providence waiting for the recovery of Mancosu. He's back from a nagging injury and still doesn't have ninety minutes on his legs, and this gives further credence to his potential. And hope for Cagliari.

Who goes down: Elio Capradossi

An unforgivable lightness in a sumptuous performance, and it's not the first time this has happened to him. Even if the back pass that kicks off Perugia's 1-2 draw has no equal and goes well beyond its technical limits. A sin of presumption, perhaps, that Cagliari risks paying dearly given the turn the match takes. And to think that up to that moment (and even after) he is one of the best out there. Reactive. Timely. He solves many of those mangy situations with crazy lucidity and authority (a closure on Olivieri in particular) and repeatedly takes responsibility for setting up the maneuver. A talented and reliable defender, however, he still lacks the leap in quality.
