Augello responds to Scamacca: Cagliari and Atalanta at halftime at 1-1

Augello responds to Scamacca and so Cagliari and Atalanta go to half-time at 1-1.

Ranieri chooses the Oristanio-Gaetano pair behind Shomurodov, with Nandez brought back into the defense quartet. Atalanta leverages its physicality, forcing Cagliari onto the defensive. Ederson (6') shoots high from a central position, but in the 13th minute the guests pass: from Koopmeiners to Lookman, cross from the left, Scamacca anticipates Dossena and with a shot underneath goes past Scuffet. The goal seems to please Atalanta and Cagliari tries to react.

But for the first half hour the only thrill is a push into the area on Mina which Rapuano, after consulting with the VAR, lets go. In the 42nd minute, however, the equalizer arrives: Shomurodov did well to take the entire Atalanta defense for a walk and then unload for Augello, who doesn't miss the winning left-footed shot. Teams that thus go to the break tied.
