In the early morning of January 12, Beijing time, a match in the 21st round of Serie A, relegation team Cagliari hosted Bologna in the middle of the league rankings. As a result, Cagliari scored two goals in the last 22 minutes, achieved a deadlock in the 92nd minute, and scored three points in a 2-1 reversal.
Cagliari, led by Matri, has been a big favourite for Relegation in Serie A this season. In the previous rounds, they had only won 1. Facing Sampdoria in the last round, Cagliari finally won their second league win, ending the embarrassment of not winning 11 rounds. This round faces Bologna and if he can win, Cagliari will continue to move closer to the relegation zone.
Bologna, the seven-time winner of Serie A, were at one point in the upper middle of the league at the beginning of the season, but only finished 13th before the match. Bologna, led by Mija, has not had much relegation pressure this season. Before the game, Bologna led Cagliari by 14 points in the relegation zone, and the advantage was quite obvious.
The game began with a chaotic Bologna defence in the opening 14 minutes, but Cagliari's bellanova pushed a shot into the mid-post and missed the opportunity to open the scoring. In the 23rd minute, Bologna counter-attacked and Tite's volley was blocked by the goalkeeper. At the end of the half, the two sides exchanged blanks 0-0 and returned to the dressing room.
Back in the second half, it was Bologna, who played away, to break the deadlock on the pitch. In the 53rd minute, Orsolini took a free kick and fired a full moon curved knife, and the ball flew straight into the goal to give the away team a 1-0 lead. Cagliari, who was behind, took the initiative in the ensuing game.
In the 70th minute, Bologna made a mistake and Pereiro assisted Pavoletti's lying shot, and the two sides returned to the same running line 1-1. For Bologna, a 1-point away goal may be a good result, so they slacked off in the final moments of the game.
Cagliari, who needed to grab points for relegation, was still attacking in the final moments of the game. In the 92nd minute, Pedri, who had just delivered an assist to equalize, leaned on the defender to complete the shootout from a small angle, helping the team to win the third game of the season, and the 0 points suddenly changed to 3 points, and they were currently only one point away from the relegation zone.
After 11 rounds without a win, Cagliari has a magical two-game winning streak, and in the next round, they will challenge Mourinho's Roma, a relegation team that is now full of confidence. Cagliari's victory, in addition to bringing them close to the relegation zone, also puts further pressure on Genoa. Sheva's side are currently four points behind Cagliari, with news that Ukrainian aggressors will be fired after playing the Cup against Milan.
