Nine months later, at the "Penzo" between Venice and Cagliari it still ends 0-0.

Ranieri confirms ten elevenths of Bari's formation, with disqualified Lapadula replaced by Kourfalidis, but with Mancosu in the unprecedented role of first striker.

The first 45 minutes see Cagliari keep the ball and look for accelerations on the right with Luvumbo, who often aims for Zampano, but earning only a yellow card for the Venezia full-back.

For goalkeepers work only of ordinary administration. Radunovic intervenes on two attempts from distance by Pohjanpalo and Ellertsson, while on the other side Joronen fumbles a close attempt by Lella. The ex Olbia, at the end of time, gives way to Barreca due to a muscle discomfort.

In the second half, Cagliari tries with sterile ball possession. Kourfalidis and Rog miss the goal. In the 23rd minute Ranieri throws Prelec into the fray for Mancosu and the Slovenian himself has a sensational one-goal from Luvumbo's assist, but the header goes wide. In the 38th minute the key episode: Hristov sinks Luvumbo, the Var advises the referee who expels the Venice defender, but does not give the penalty, given that the foul starts on the edge. Rog's free-kick ends just wide.

Pavoletti also enters for the final assault, but in the 50th minute Barreca saves in a slide after Johnsen's shot without fail, who escaped on the counterattack. For Cagliari, the away victory remains a chimera.
