The Sardinians lose two players due to injury (Faragò and Cacciatore) and at 18 'they risk big on a short support from Luca Pellegrini towards his goalkeeper: Sanabria gets there, touches it (slowly), but Cragno manages to save his foot. Before the break, however, the hosts hit: Pandev's poisonous cross-shot, who entered Ghiglione's place four minutes earlier (he too, ko, muscle problem), the ball parades in the middle of a forest of legs and mockery Cragno .

The Griffin was immediately dangerous at the start of the second half: Radovanovic put in the middle from the right, Sanabria in the cross section did not find the target.

Cagliari takes the field and at 76 'the' Ferraris' holds its breath on the head of Joao Pedro, served by Nandez: ball slightly to the side. The match-winner Pandev (85 ') is threatening again: first intentional shot, a reactive Cragno deflects for a corner. The last thrill, and what a thrill, arrives in the 92nd minute: Nainggolan's blow hit by Soumaoro (Perin beaten) is printed on the crossbar, the ball ends up to Joao Pedro who, with his head empty, devours an incredible goal. Curtain.
