Cagliari wins again, proving that they have started 2022 really well. The match of Unipol Domus against Bologna, the closing match of the 21st day, ends 2-1 for the rossoblù of Sardinia.

A comeback success, with Pavoletti and Gaston Pereiro reversing the advantage scored by the Emilians with Orsolini.

FORMATIONS - Among the injured and positive Covid, the two coaches arrive at the match with extremely risicate roses. From the first minute Walter Mazzarri sent Cragno, Altare, Lovato, Carboni, Bellanova, Marin, Grassi, Deiola, Lykogiannis, Joao Pedro and Pavoletti onto the field.

Sinisa Mihajlovic responds instead with Skorupski, Bonifazi, Binks, Theate, Skov Olsen, Svanberg, Dominguez, Soriano, Dijks, Arnautovic and Orsolini.

Race direction entrusted to the referee Ghersini.

FIRST HALF - The match begins dynamically, with teams battling intensely. But to see the first conclusion you have to wait 10 minutes, when Deiola frees his right to the limit, but fires off target.

Four minutes later Cagliari have a super chance to take the lead: Altare changes play on the left for Lykogiannis, the Greek winger puts in the middle and Bellanova is good at getting in, but his close shot prints on the post to Skorupski's left .

Bologna's response arrives at the 23rd, when Theate is caught free in the area and pulls out the left, with Cragno opposing with his fists in a corner kick.

Shortly before half an hour Grassi tries, who from the edge "crushes" his right foot too much to worry Skorupski.

SECOND HALF - The second half begins uphill for Mazzarri's men. After 9 minutes Lykogiannis jumped on the wing and landed Skov Olsen at 18 meters. Ghersini concedes the punishment and Orsolini transforms it with a left foot, with a perfect parable that crosses the barrier and ends up in the net, impregnable for Cragno.

Collected the blow, Mazzarri proceeds to the first change, removing Lykogiannis and inserting Dalbert. Then Deiola gives way to Gaston Pereiro.

And it is Pereiro himself who gives the Sardinians the right shock, crowned in the 79th with a cross shot from the left on which Pavoletti finds the winning deviation that is worth the equalizer of the hosts.

However, Bologna is not there and six minutes later almost scoring: Orsolini is still trying, but Cragno manages to deflect the ball on the post, saving his goal.

In the last minutes Mazzarri loses Pavoletti, forced to leave the field after a hard clash with Dominguez, replaced by Zappa.

8 from the end Bologna again: Dominguez fishes Skov Olsen in the area, who heads to the side by a whisker. Cagliari responds with a treacherous cross from Bellanova that almost mocked Skorupski and with a shot from the edge by Grassi, who ends up high over the crossbar.

At the 90th Ghersini grants 6 minutes of recovery. And it is precisely in the extra-time that Mazzarri's team gets the goal that is worth the 2-1: Joao Pedro dictates the pass into the area for the insertion of Gaston Pereiro, who controls the offside and finds the left hole just to puncture Skorupski at the near post signing the unexpected advantage of Cagliari.

And so at the triple whistle Mazzarri's team can celebrate its third victory of the season, second in a row, putting another 3 very precious points in their pockets.
