Cagliari, defeat in Friuli: Udinese wins 5-1

Heavy defeat for Cagliari, the fourth consecutive, in the 31st matchday of Serie A.

The challenge of the Dacia Arena against Udinese ends in fact 5-1 for the Friulians, who manage to overturn the momentary advantage of Joao Pedro and then spread.

A sign for the bianconeri Beto (hat-trick), Becao and Molina.

LINE-UP - Mister Mazzarri, orphan of Pavoletti and Marin, positive for Covid , and of the injured Nandez and Ceppitelli, sent Cragno, Goldaniga, Lovato, Altare, Zappa, Deiola, Grassi, Dalbert, Bellanova, Pereiro and Joao Pedro on the field from the start .

On the bench, after long injuries, Marko Rog and Sebastian Walukiewicz meet again.

Gabriele Cioffi responds instead with Silvestri, Becao, Nuytinck, Zeegelaar, Molina, Pereyra, Walace, Makengo, Udogie, Success and Beto.

Race direction entrusted to the referee Rosario Abisso.

FIRST HALF - Udinese starts immediately with aggression and within 10 minutes creates some headaches for the Sardinian defense, especially with Beto, who collects a vertical cue from Success in the area, however sending out face to face with Cragno.

Cagliari responds with Dalbert, splendidly launched on the right wing by Joao. The number 29 bucks, enters the area and tries the right, but Silvestri rejects for a corner.

The game is lively and is released shortly after half an hour: Udinese error, Deiola leads the counterattack and serves Dalbert on the right, the number 29 serves Joao who stops with his left and always with his left he invents a parable that beats Silvestri for 0 -1 rossoblù, returning to savor the joy of the goal (the eleventh of the season) and breaking a fast that lasted from January.

The Friulians do not break down and find equal almost immediately: confused action in the area, Udogie and Beto try, but Cragno is amazing, but then Pereyra puts in the middle from the left and Becao appears in the traffic and bags the same.

Then again Udinese, with Beto anticipating Lovato and putting in, the ball reaches Pereyra who shoots high. At the end of time the scheme is overturned and this time the bianconeri pass: it is Pereyra who serves Beto from the left and the number 9 finds the winning deviation which is worth 2-1.

SECOND HALF - The second half starts in the worst way for the rossoblùs. Mazzarri's men get up to look for a draw, but they discover themselves and Udinese hits on the counterattack. Deiola loses a duel with Success and involuntarily serves Beto who flies very alone, enters the area and thunders Cragno out, making 3-1.

Mazzarri then proceeds to the first changes: outside Altare and Deiola, inside Keita and Baselli. And it is Keita who tries as soon as he enters, but his right is central and ends up in Silvestri's arms.

The Friulians, however, are very hot and also find poker, once again on the counterattack: Success verticalizes for Molina, defense of Cagliari uncovered and Cragno off the posts, and the Argentine winger does not think twice and pulls out a beautiful lob that is worth the 4-1.

Shortly before the 65th, a happy note for Cagliari: Marko Rog, who takes the place of Zappa, returns to the field, savoring the field after the long injury.

But it is a shy smile for Cagliari, who immediately afterwards collects the fifth goal. Beto scores once again, who collects with his head - once again with an unguarded Sardinian defense - a cross from the left by Pussetto.

Cagliari is down. Mazzarri also makes Walukiewicz touch the field, also returning from a long injury, who takes the place of Lovato, while Carboni takes over Pereiro.

At the 82nd Cagliari remains in 10: Grassi, already warned, accentuates a fall in the Friulian area and Abisso punishes him for simulation with the second yellow and with the red.

In the final minutes, only the triple whistle of Abyss is expected, which reaches the 90th split.

Udine celebrates, Cagliari returns to Sardinia with their heads down.
