Torino and Cagliari were tied 1-1 at halftime, but there were plenty of protests at the Olimpico: Idrissi was denied a penalty early in the match. Prati equalized in the 45th minute.
Cagliari lined up in a 3-5-1-1 formation, with Gaetano supporting Kılıçsoy . The start was uneventful, but in the 8th minute an incident occurred that could have changed the game: a long pass on the left to Idrissi, who outpaced the opposing defense, but Paleari intervened with his high leg and hit him squarely in the thigh just inside the penalty area. The assistant referee flagged for offside, which wasn't the case, and VAR called Doveri to the monitor, but the decision was shocking: the restart was a throw-in, deemed legal because "the goalkeeper saved the ball inside the penalty area," ignoring the seriousness of the foul .
A real chance awaited the 23rd minute. Gaetano entered the penalty area but missed the opportunity to shoot. He played it to Idrissi, who back-heeled the ball back, cutting through the Torino defense. The number 10's right-footed effort was saved in two stages by Paleari. In the 28th minute, the Granata took the lead: a long pass to Simeone on the left was stopped by Caprile, but the ball remained in the home team's possession. Adams then fed Vlašić, who dribbled past and fired into an empty net with his right foot, only to be deflected by Zappa, leaving his shot unstoppable for Luperto, who was stationed on the line .
A fine move by Palestra saw his cross barely grazed by Idrissi, who failed to head it home (33'). At the other end, in the 37th minute, Caprile did well to palm away an assist from Adams intended for Simeone. The same Argentine striker, a former player of the day, sent a corner taken by Lazaro at the near post over in the 44th minute .
In the 45th minute, after a Palestra run was stopped by Ismajli, Cagliari equalized: Mazzitelli laid it off from a corner and Prati turned it in from the center of the area . It was 1-1, and so the half-time break.
