Thanks to a goal from Sulemana, Cagliari took a 1-0 lead at half-time against Frosinone.
Ranieri confirms the ten-eleventh team seen with Bologna, with Azzi replacing Augello and a three-man defense made up of Wieteska, Dossena and Zappa.
Frosinone started strong and, after 6', Okoli's header crossed the length of the goal without any decisive deflections. In the 17th minute Cheddira tries diagonally, Scuffet saves himself in the corner. In the 24th minute Cheddira again and Scuffet again in the corner.
But when Cagliari puts their noses in Turati's area, they strike. In the 26th minute Azzi's cross, Petagna's cross and Sulemana, with his right, places it in the corner. Having conceded the goal, the home team is in difficulty, with a series of long balls always well controlled by the rossoblù defense.
In the 42nd minute, however, Cheddira runs away on the edge of offside and Scuffet is still very good at saving with his foot on the way out. And in the 46th minute, after a drumming action and two interventions from the usual Scuffet, Barrenechea found the opportunity to equalise. But the VAR calls referee Dionisi for a foul by Brescianini on Dossena and the goal is disallowed.
After an extra-large recovery, the first half ends with Cagliari ahead 1-0.
