A victory, albeit a painful one, to keep flying in the standings.

Lazio is third in Serie A, tied on points with Atalanta and Fiorentina, after Monday evening’s postponement, in which the Biancocelesti won 2-1 against a courageous Cagliari. For Marco Baroni’s team, despite the immediate advantage and the amount of play, the victory came only in the end of the game thanks to a penalty converted by Mattia Zaccagni.

For Lazio, as mentioned, the match started in the best of ways. Already at 2à in fact, the advantage arrives thanks to Dia, able to reiterate in goal a ball handled with some difficulty by Scuffet after a free kick by Pellegrini. Cagliari però attempted an immediate reaction, with Piccoli bricked by Lazzari. Then Makoumbou wasted on Mina’s initiative and Provedel saved everything on Adopo and Zortea. Meanwhile, Castellanos goes very close to doubling the score, but his right-footed shot shatters on the post.

The match remains vibrant, with Noslin and Isaksen dangerous on one side, Luvumbo on the other snatching a very poisonous ball from Gila but not surprising Provedel. They are però the warnings of the equalizer, which arrives at 41′ when Makoumbou serves Luvumbo: the latter’s shot is muffed by the same Gila who actually sends Provedel out of the way and gives the goal to Cagliari.

Immediately after the equalizer, Lazio took the field in the second half with the very clear goal of scoring as soon as possible. But it è not easy: Cagliari closes the spaces, Lazzari and Guendouzi search in vain for Dia, Augello saves on Isaksen, Mina closes the door on Castellanos, Luperto overcomes first on Castellanos and then on Vecino. An episode is needed, which arrives at 75′: foul in the area of Zortea on Pellegrini, Zaccagni transforms the penalty. Cagliari lost Mina and Adopo in a few seconds, both sent off by Ayroldi, and the result did not change anymore.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up

This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.

The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.

Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia

So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.

Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).

Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.

As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry.

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren

.

The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.

“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.

The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.

Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
