Spring, Cagliari draws from a comeback: against Sassuolo it ends 2-2

Cagliari Primavera led by the Battilana-Pisacane duo never gives up: the rossoblù draw from a comeback 2-2 away against Sassuolo.

The hosts had gone two goals up after 10 minutes, thanks to a terrible one-two from Russo and Leone. Cagliari deservedly regained the draw in the last minutes of the second half. Race valid for the 27th day of the championship. Third consecutive useful result for the rossoblùs. Delpupo is back on loan from the first team after missing the last three games due to injury.

Ready to go and Sassuolo goes ahead by two goals, thanks to goals from Russo and Leone. Leone himself comes close to a personal double in the 33rd minute. The second half opens with a double great opportunity for the rossoblùs. First with Delpupo, whose shot just goes out. Then Vinciguerra engages Zacchi who deflects for a corner. Griger in the 71st minute devours the 2-1 goal, after a beating and repeating, he shoots out with an unguarded goal, a colossal opportunity wasted by the guests.

In the 81st minute Cagliari shortens the distance: Carboni's poisonous free-kick which is not kicked by anyone and enters the goal. Eighth goal of the season for the number 8, seven in the league plus one in the Italian Cup. Three minutes go by and the rossoblùs almost equalize, Konate sets up for Griger, who kicks from an excellent position, Zacchi foils the threat in two stages. The draw comes in the 86th minute with Veroli. Perfect corner taken by Carboni, the central defender stands higher than all finding the final 2-2. Third goal in the tournament for the number 15, second in a row after the one against Juventus.

Cagliari rises to 33 points, remaining in the hot zone of the playouts, awaiting tonight's and tomorrow's results from their direct competitors. Sassuolo remains sixth at an altitude of 43. Captain Palomba and teammates will be back on the field on Sunday 23rd April in “Asseminello” against Udinese.
