Pearl of Mancosu on a free kick: Cagliari-Venice 1-0
Rossoblù took the lead after more than half an hour under opposing pressure
The first emotions at Domus arrive when more than ten minutes have passed since the kick-off. Deiola at 11 'touches a ball from the corner with his head, but does not find the goal defended by Joronen.
In the following phases the ball of the game passes to the lagoons who go close to the net twice.
At 14 'with Pohjanpalo, who all alone in the small area - in a regular position - misses the shot.
Chills shortly after when Novakovich gallops along the entire rossoblù area: his treacherous shot is canceled by Radunovic, who rejects.
Zampano throws himself on the ball: his conclusion ends up on the side.
The 24th minute is about to start when Pohjanpalo is still making the rossoblù people tremble: his shot from outside the box hits the right post of the Cagliari goal, with Radunovic already beaten.
GOAL OF MANCOSU. The turning point comes in the 37th minute. Mancosu shoots straight into the goal a free-kick awarded for a foul suffered by Rog on the left side of the opponent's area. Joronen, perhaps also due to a detour, cannot do anything. Cagliari ahead.

THE INITIAL FORMATIONS. It's time for Pavoletti. It will be the bomber from Livorno who will lead Cagliari's assault on Venice to redeem the last knockout against Bari , resume the race to the top and at the same time erase the stain of that May 22 to Penzo that cost the rossoblùs the relegation in B series.
And alongside the captain, surprisingly, there will be Pereiro . Thus he starts from the Lapadula bench, who only returned to Italy on Thursday after his commitments with the Peruvian national team.
News also in midfield , with Deiola in place of Makoumbou, and in defense, with Barreca for the first time in the holder. Here they are, therefore, the eleven chosen by the Liverani technician for the challenge with the lagoons: Radunovic, Zappa, Goldaniga, Altare, Barreca, Nandez, Deiola, Rog, Mancosu, Pereiro and Pavoletti. With the official formations, the adrenaline rises further at Unipol Domus in view of the kick-off, set for 2 pm.
Venezia , coached by the Croatian Javorcic, will in turn break the ice with Joronen, Wisniewski, Modolo, Ceccaroni, Zampano, Busio, Andersen, Cuisance, Haps, Novakovich and Pohjanpalo. For the first time Cagliari will be refereed by the Calabrian Cosso, at Var Pairetto.
