One by one between Cagliari and Monza at the Domus. With two very similar goals, both from corners: Dossena scores in the first half, Maric responds, having just entered, in the second half. Almost a fair draw. Even if Monza came close to scoring just as the referee was about to blow the whistle: a Ciurria crossbar added to Dany Mota’s at the start of the second half.
One time on each side. Cagliari scored in the first half and defended very well. Risking ending the match in a melee with superstar Di Gregorio. In the second half Ranieri’s team remained behind and waited. But Monza returned from the locker room with a different attitude. And the equalizer was inevitable. A step forward that pleases both of us. Nobody wanted to lose.
Game blocked for ten minutes with Monza immediately winning two corners and starting to scare. But Cagliari comes through in the 10th minute: Viola’s corner, Goldaniga’s header almost pushed by Dossena. Then, following Di Gregorio’s save, it was Dossena who dragged the ball into the net. It is a network that complicates Palladino’s plans. His team doesn’t get upset, he tries to play as he knows how. But it is clear that with the advantage Cagliari is much more careful and leaves little room for Colpani’s imagination. With Colombo rarely managing to leave.
Also because Dossena is behind the defense and doesn’t let one pass. And in fact Monza creates the only real danger with a personal action plus a shot from Birindelli starting from the right and centralizing in the area. With Scuffet, however, not surprised.
More ball possession for the guests. But the corners show how Cagliari plays straight forward: nine corners taken. The second half opens with a clear signal from Monza: Dany Mota’s shot in the area hits the crossbar. Then, with Cagliari no longer finding any measure or concentration, the punishment was inevitable. Indeed the corner kick of the goal: Hatzidiakos doesn’t take the corner. And instead Maric takes it well: one by one. Then many changes. Palladino tries even at the cost of removing his potentially most dangerous men. In the end Ranieri wants to win and also throws in Lapadula and Pavoletti. However, it is Monza who plays more and makes themselves more dangerous. For example with Gagliardini six minutes from the end with Scuffet attentive at the far post. But above all in the 94th minute: Monza one step away from success with a daring crossbar from Churria. Even Domus, who were pushing for Pavoletti’s usual goal at the last minute, are happy with this in the end.
