A late strike from Kingstone gave Cagliari a 1-0 victory over Modena in the rossoblù's second and final friendly match in Temù .
The heat and wind are accompanying both teams. Pisacane starts with Caprile in goal, Zappa, Deiola, Rodriguez, and Obert in defense, Romano in midfield with Adopo and Liteta, and Esposito and Di Paolo in up front supporting Mendy.
After 20 minutes, Di Paolo beat the keeper but missed. In the ninth minute, Modena threatened with Olzer's shot wide from a corner. In the 17th minute, Rodriguez saved Caso's right-footed effort, and two minutes later, Caprile saved for a corner after a dangerous deflection from Deiola. And in the 20th minute, Mendes hit the post with a free kick, leaving Caprile helpless. Cagliari returned in the 26th minute, with Mendy misfiring Esposito's free kick. The first half ended 0-0.
At the start of the second half, Cagliari came on with Zé Pedro, Winks, Fazzini, and Borrelli for Zappa, Adopo, Liteta, and Mendy.
After 16 minutes, Borrelli found the right space, but Chichizola saved with his feet. Radunovic, Albarracin, Prati, and Cavuoti immediately came on for Caprile, Esposito, Romano, and Di Paolo, for a highly experimental Cagliari side. In the 22nd minute, Radunovic himself saved from Montevago, who was on target. Pisacane recalled Borrelli, still not fully fit, and brought on Kingstone. The second half was a slow and uneventful affair, with the Rossoblu confirming their need to focus on attack. Further substitutions included Raterink and Grandu for Rodriguez and Albarracin. But in the 42nd minute, following a confusing move in the Modena penalty area, Kingstone scored the winner to make it 1-0, deciding the friendly .
