The first half of the "Tombolato" between Cittadella and Cagliari ends on 0-0.

Ranieri restarts from the starting line-up with Como, replacing the injured Pavoletti with Falco, who is preferred over Luvumbo.

Just the former Red Star, between the 13th and 14th minute, served Dossena twice, but in both circumstances the defender's header was defused by goalkeeper Kastrati. In the 15th minute Falco himself tries, but once again the home goalkeeper saves himself.

Cittadella tries too, in the 16th minute, with a counterattack by Mastrantonio that ends up on the back.

Cagliari controlled without difficulty, Radunovic took no risks, while on the other side it was again Falco, following an assist from Zappa, who hit the outside of the net from a good position.

In the 42nd minute, the rossoblù pass: Dossena supports Lapadula, a save ends and Zappa scores from the rebound. But the referee canceled due to an obvious initial offside by Dossena. The first half ends like this.
