Verona dominated for a long time, then Claudio Ranieri changed three men in midfield and Cagliari first equalized and then even came close to winning. It’s the photo of a match in which Verona made a mistake only in not sinking the shot. In the final however, with a fresh midfield, it was Cagliari who moved forward and created more. In the end the play-off ends 1-1 and both have reasons to complain. Very tense first phases then, in the 15th minute, Shomurodov, assisted by Nandez, skidded close to the post.
«The match report»
On the half hour mark, Zappa’s mistake, Noslin crosses into the area and Bonazzoli scores with a splendid backheel 0-1. Verona could double their lead in the 40th minute with a counterattack by Folonrusho but Scuffet was decisive in reversing the yellow-blue midfielder’s conclusion.
In the second half Viola comes on for Shomurodov but it is VAR that keeps Cagliari up when Zappa makes another mistake and Lazovic scores. Canceled for offside. Cagliari relies on Luvumbo, Zappa misses the hook on Viola’s cross in front of Montipò then Scuffet saves again on Lazovic (16′).
Verona slows down the pace, Ranieri changes almost the entire midfield and the results prove him right. Luvumbo breaks through to the left, crosses, the Scaliger defense blocks, Sulemana finds the net. In the final the match remains very uncertain and it is Cagliari who have the winning ball in the 45th minute: Luvumbo, served by Lapadula, throws a very precise diagonal but Montipò gets excited.
