Lazio first wastes, then exults: 2-1 to Cagliari, is third
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.

A.C. Milan president Paolo Scaroni has angered Rossoneri fans on social media for words spoken during an event at San Siro organized by the newspaper Il Foglio: “I do not feel I can say that the season is just totally negative, I remember that we won the Italian Super Cup”.
“The fans are the focus of our attention, it is so important to have them by our side even in such a difficult season like this. They are showing resilience, putting up with the team even when performances are not brilliant”.
The market moves: “Being active in the market is one thing, then being successful is another. Some of the signings we have made have been great successes, becoming long-term Milan players with very good performances. Whereas other signings have been less successful, certainly Morata was not a great operation for so many reasons. Reijnders and Pulisic in particular have had consistently very good returns, then Leao excites everyone”.
“We intend to continue this policy of ours of being active especially on young people, so we will continue to strengthen the team. Furlani is in charge of that first of all, then there’s also Ibrahimovic along with our whole team. We would like to have a great season next year. Zlatan is an added value for Milan and for RedBird, he is a RedBird consultant loaned to Milan”.
