Now we need a miracle. At Cagliari the home feat against Inter fails and salvation is increasingly difficult. The neroazzurri win 3-1 at the Domus ( HERE the report cards): Darmian scores in the first half, Lautaro doubles at the beginning of the second half, a great goal from Lykogiannis reopens it but in the end the usual Lautaro still closes it. A Cagliari, it must be said, too submissive to be a team that played the last few cartridges for salvation. Especially in the first half.
The result in a single stroke mathematically sends Genoa to B and saves Sampdoria, only Cagliari and Salernitana remain to fight for salvation in the last 90 minutes . The rossoblù have the advantage of the goal difference, but the Campania players have the much more important one of two points. There are few calculations to be made: we must win in Venice and hope that Salernitana in a fiery Arechi will not beat Udinese who have nothing more to ask from this championship.
THE FORMATIONS - Mister Agostini surprisingly aims at the 4-man defense, the starting eleven of Cagliari is composed as follows: Cragno, Bellanova, Ceppitelli, Altare, Lykogiannis, Marin, Grassi, Dalbert, Rog, Joao Pedro, Pavoletti.
Inzaghi's Inter responds with their usual 3-5-2: Handanovic, Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic, Dzeko, Lautaro.
The referee Duties of Rome 1 directs the game.
FIRST HALF - Inter started well in a very physical match full of contrasts. Agostini plays with advanced Rog to shield the neroazzurro game constructor Brozovic . In the first minutes Cragno responds immediately present: on 3 'on a poisonous low shot by Perisic, on 5' on a central volley by Calhanoglu.
But Cagliari, at least in the first 20 ', when it advances it shows itself in the parts of Handanovic, who first fights on a very dangerous Lykogiannis southpaw , then sees a great shot from Marin parade on the edge of the pole on which he could not have done anything.
In the middle, on the 11th minute, even a goal canceled by Skriniar , who is seen rejected from the post by the header and in the fall he puts in the net with his arm. Validation duties, but called by the Var cancels.
The neroazzurro advantage comes in the 25th minute with the usual action of the fifths in midfield. Cross to Perisic's kiss, Darmian arrives on the far post and overhangs Lykogiannis and beats Cragno .
The rossoblù feel the blow and the rest of the first 45 'is a monologue from Inter . Head sticks sends high, Ceppitelli sacrifices himself on Lautaro, then Cragno responds to a shot by the Argentine number 10. Another very inspired Lautaro in the 45th minute hits the post with a splendid shot, slingshots into the rebound and fires a very violent right-footed shot on which the rossoblù goalkeeper makes a great save.
The reaction of Cagliari is all in a series of hitting and rebooting that sends Joao Pedro only in the area on the left side, but the Brazilian slips ruinously.
SECOND HALF - No change at the beginning of the second half, and after just over 5 minutes Lautaro is doubled . The Argentine collects a long throw from Barella, defends the ball well on the not-so-faultless marking of Altare and Cragno hole. But that's not all, just two minutes pass and a big left from outside Lykogiannis reopens the game, 1-2 .
Agostini believes in it and throws Nandez and Keita into the pitch for Rog and Pavoletti . Inter are in trouble, the Domus crowd pushes Cagliari which pours into the Nerazzurri area. Inzaghi, worried, removes Barella (very whistled) and Darmian by inserting Gagliardini and Dumfries.
But the rossoblù assault lasts too short, a few minutes. Inter managed to reorganize and not suffer the initiative of the Sardinians. At 70 'Inzaghi changes two more, D'ambrosio for Bastoni and Correa for Dzeko . The Milanese team is limited to managing the possession without sinking, they want to bring home the result. And in the 77th minute he touches the trio , again with the fifths: this time Dumfries crosses, hitting Perisic with his head, ball at the edge of the pole. A revived Cagliari shows up twice in the area immediately afterwards : first the attempts of Joao Pedro and Grassi are blocked, then on the great cross of Lykogiannis Keita deflects from the shoulder sending the ball to the side, and Var and the referee let go on a suspicious touch of Gagliardini in the area. And immediately after Inter find the trio with the usual Lautaro : Cagliari is very open and a long throw draws Gagliardini only to the limit, the newcomer serves Lautaro who with a valuable shot underneath makes the 3-1.
Other changes in the 86th minute, when the game is now over: Sanchez for Lautaro and Pereiro for Dalbert. Cagliari reacts with pride, two attempts by Ceppitelli and Baselli are unsuccessful. But Inter hit another post - the third of the match - in full recovery with Dumfries. It is the last emotion of a match that has nothing more to say.
