A comeback that promises salvation for Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari, who beat Atalanta 2-1 and earned three very important points. The Nerazzurri’s momentary lead, sealed by Scamacca, was answered first by Augello and then, towards the end, by Viola. For Gasperini’s team a bad setback in the fight for a Champions League place.
«The match report»
Atalanta had the first chance of the match, after six minutes, with Ederson, who moved well between the lines and shot from the edge: the ball was just over. Prelude to the opening goal which arrives in the 13th minute: Lookman crosses low from the left for Scamacca, who does well to escape Dossena and put the 1-0 on target with a soft touch. Cagliari felt the blow but reacted and equalized in the 42nd minute: nice play in the area by Shomurodov, who came back and served Augello, completely lost by the Atalanta defense and free to beat Carnesecchi.
In the second half the balance seen at the end of the first half seemed to remain, with the Bergamo players unable to find space in front of the orderly defense of Ranieri’s team. There was also some nervousness at the end of a match that didn’t seem to be resolved, with Cagliari trying thanks to the new substitute Luvumbo, who was good at centralizing from the right and kicking, but finding a reactive Carnesecchi.
Two minutes from the ninetieth minute it is Cagliari who settles the match, again with Luvumbo as the protagonist with a ball in the center which Viola deflects into the net with a perfect header.
