Very complicated first half for Cagliari, down 0-1 with Empoli. Colombo scores on a defensive lapse, from the Domus you start to hear some whistles.

Nicola changes from Napoli, with Zortea and Makoumbou for Azzi and Gaetano. Before the start a minute of silence for Totò Schillaci, the hero of Italia '90.

A free kick scheme in the quarter of an hour puts Cagliari in difficulty, with the defense saving itself on the double rebound Mina-Deiola. Rossoblù response from a corner in the 18th minute, Vásquez fails but Goglichidze and Esposito block Luperto's header.

First half an hour with very few chances and many mistakes. Then, in the 33rd minute, Anjorin's vertical pass finds Colombo free in the center (Makoumbou keeps him in play, making a mistake on the line) and his shot goes past Scuffet for 0-1.

Cagliari tries to create something in the 38th minute by feeding Luvumbo, but Vásquez stops him in a low exit and a defender anticipates Piccoli. Shortly after, Deiola misses the 1-1, with the referee subsequently whistling a previous foul by Piccoli.

Right at the end, a header from a corner by Mina, Vásquez saves and we go to the break.
