The friendly match in Temù between Cagliari and Sampdoria ended 0-0 and was uneventful , the Rossoblu's first real outing of the season. Pisacane started with Caprile in goal, Zé Pedro, Deiola, Rodrigueuz, and Obert in defense, Winks flanked by Romano and Fazzini in midfield, and Adopo and Esposito supporting Kingstone. At the other end, Corradi confirmed former Rossoblu player Di Pardo in the starting lineup and rested Insigne , who is still struggling to regain his fitness.
We started with the numerous Sampdoria fans who paid homage to former player Seba Esposito: "Your values as a man will never be forgotten."
Cagliari's starting 4-3-2-1 formation frequently morphed into a 4-4-2, with Fazzini and Adopo on the wings. Half an hour of nothing, with the teams focusing more on finding their positions and practicing the movements from training. Then in the 33rd minute, Caprile sent Obert into the Dominion penalty area, but his cross was too wide. A minute later, Fazzini also had a go, but again, he missed. Sampdoria also made an appearance in the 37th minute, with Salvatore Esposito firing a free kick, but Caprile reacted quickly and saved. His brother Sebastiano responded in the 41st minute, but Ghidotti saved for a corner. In the 46th minute, Caprile had a scare: Paratici fired over from close range on a throw-in. Kingstone's final attempt in the 47th minute was another, but Ghidotti again sent it to the corner. Cagliari and Sampdoria went into the break tied at 0-0.
The restart begins with Zappa replacing Obert on the left. In the 13th minute, a flurry of substitutions follows: Sherri, Wieteska, Grandu, Prati, Cavuoti, and Mendy come in for Caprile, Deiola, Zé Pedro, Winks, Fazzini, and Kingstone. In the 22nd minute, Veroli, Raterink, Trepy, and Di Paolo come in for Rodriguez, Adopo, Esposito, and Romano. The teams are completely overhauled, and Pisacane's lineup is reconfigured to a 3-4-3. The pace continues at a summer pace. After a final burst of energy from Di Paolo, the scoreline remains unclear, with Cagliari and Sampdoria both drawing 0-0.
