Cagliari achieved the feat of their season: they beat Juventus 1-0, bringing immense joy to the 16,412 fans who filled the sold-out Unipol Domus stadium. Mazzitelli scored the winning goal midway through the second half.
Pisacane changed formation and opted for a 4-3-3, with Palestra as a winger and Gaetano as a central midfielder, while Spalletti switched to a 4-2-3-1 . In the ninth minute, a free kick was earned on the right, but Esposito squandered it with a completely misplaced kick. After 15 minutes, Juventus were awarded a penalty for an alleged foul by Mazzitelli on Miretti, who was kicking with his right foot. But in reality, it was the other way around, with the Juventus number 21 hitting the Rossoblu number 4: VAR called Massa and the decision was reversed .
Miretti, after the penalty was disallowed, also tried his luck from midfield in the 24th minute, seeing Caprile out: he went over him, but it didn't hit the target. A minute later, he received the ball on the center-right side of the penalty area, but his shot was deflected by Obert, and Caprile blocked it with his body . In the 28th minute, a free kick was intercepted by Koopmeiners and Locatelli; the Dutchman's shot was blocked, sparking a Cagliari counterattack that Esposito squandered by misplacing the pass to Adopo.
Cagliari showed very little in attack, with no shots on goal from Perin, who replaced Di Gregorio today. In the 40th minute, a good cross from Mazzitelli almost found Adopo, but Kelly beat him to a header. The half-time break followed two minutes of added time .
The second half was played without substitutions. In the 49th minute, Kılıçsoy made a good play from the edge of the box to play the ball to Esposito, who fired from the byline on the right, but Perin sent it out for a corner. Miretti, however, missed the target in the 52nd minute, with a right-footed shot wide after cutting inside from the left. .
