This Tuesday, Cagliari beat Bologna 2-1 at home for the Italian Championship, in a comeback. The goals of the match all came in the second half. Riccardo Orsolini opened the scoring for the visitors, but Pavoletti and Gaston Pereiro scored and declared the victory for the hosts.
With the result, Bologna is in 12th place with 27 points. The score is a bucket of cold water, as, with the victory, the team would start dreaming of a spot in the Conference League – new European tournament promoted by UEFA.
Cagliari won their first victory in 12 games. The result, however, does not take the team out of the relegation zone, with 16 points, one less than Venezia, the first club away.
In the first half, both teams had good opportunities. Cagliari were the first to be in danger. After passing to the area, Raoul Bellanova, free, hit the post. Bologna arrived with danger when Arthur Theate took advantage of the cross and hit a beautiful shot for the goalkeeper’s defense.
Bologna came back more connected for the second half and, in the 9th minute, scored the net in a beautiful free kick by Riccardo Orsolini.
Cagliari, in desperate need of victory, launched the attack and drew level with Pavoletti after a good pass from Gaston Pereiro. The attacker only had the job of pushing into the nets. And, in stoppage time, the same Gaston Pereiro received a beautiful pass from João Pedro and finished in the left corner to declare victory.
