Another defeat. The seventh. Another goalless game. The seventh. Carpi conquers the "Vanni Sanna" stadium with a Cortesi penalty in the second half. It's a never-ending crisis for Torres, and at this point, coach Michele Pazienza's fate seems sealed, because even the improvements in his play (more in the first half than the second) prove fruitless.
A solid first half, with Carboni providing some light-hearted passes, aided by Giorico, wasn't enough, as the scoring problem remained, with Diakite (very close to the post with his header early in the match), Giorico, and Sala all failing to find the net. It should be noted that the referee overlooked two seemingly clear fouls on Musso in the 16th minute (belted by the defender) and Sala in the 35th minute (hit from behind), and on this second incident, VAR, as has always been the case, failed to help Sassari.
In the second half, Carpi stepped up their game and began to create danger. In the 50th minute, Cortesi tested Zaccagno's reflexes, who immediately followed up with a save from Rossini. In the 70th minute, substitute Sall took the ball and entered the penalty area, colliding with Giorico. The referee allowed play to continue, and the visitors requested VAR and were awarded a penalty, which Cortesi converted with power and precision. In the 84th minute, Antonelli was denied by Stanzani, who, however, struck the left post.
