Cagliari wins in Parma 3-2 and abandons last place in the standings

Cagliari finds their first victory of the season on the Parma pitch: at the Tardini the Sardinians win 3-2 with goals from Zortea in the 34th, Marin in the 75th and Piccoli’s winning goal in the 87th, which came a minute after the equalizing penalty converted by Hernani. Di Man scored the other goal in the 62nd minute for the Ducali who had twice caught up with the guests. The rossoblù leave last place in the standings, overtaking Monza (bottom of the table) and Venice and catching Parma (along with Genoa and Lecce) on 5 points.

A simply crazy, fun and full of reversals match takes place at the Tardini. Until now in the championship we had never seen Parma in such difficulty as in the first half. Pecchia’s team, in fact, had always accustomed us to brilliant and bold starts: in this round, however, it is Cagliari who are characterized by a more aggressive approach. Barely three minutes pass and Suzuki immediately has to perform a miracle, deflecting Piccoli’s attempt into a corner.

In the 7th minute, VAR took care of saving the home team from being at a disadvantage, recognizing an offside by Mina, the scorer of the goal. On the other hand, however, the Crusaders only lit up in flashes like, for example, in the 28th minute, when Mina blocked a dangerous shot from Valeri. The Sardinian team seems more determined and, after a lot of effort, finally finds the 1-0 in the 34th minute with Zortea: the former Atalanta player is quick to anticipate the Emilians’ defense and deflect Luvumbo’s cross from the left into the net.

From the changing rooms, however, a completely different Parma emerges, dragged by Man’s creativity. After two great missed chances, the Romanian playmaker equalizes the scores, in the 62nd minute, on the third attempt, beating Scuffet with a flat shot from the center of the goal. ‘area. The game is more open than ever and both teams are not satisfied with a draw. We go from a goal disallowed by Piccoli to a possible 2-1 Parma, trashed by Sohm on the counterattack. To break the stalemate, Nicola decides to strengthen his midfield, inserting Marin.

An enlightening change, because after two minutes Cagliari’s number 18 scores the new lead, thanks to a powerful right-footed shot into the top corner from outside the area. Woe, however, to think that it’s over here, because the endgame is for strong hearts. Taking advantage of Palomino’s naive foul on Charpentier, the Crusaders made it 2-2 on a penalty with Hernani. Not even a minute passes and Cagliari is back in the lead, taking advantage of a Parma still busy celebrating: the hero of the evening is Piccoli, who makes it 3-2, taking advantage of the opponents’ defensive hole. A desired, hard-earned and deserved victory for Cagliari, more concentrated and determined.
