Cagliari beats Cremonese 1-0: Lapadula decides. Now Juve.
He thinks about it Gianluca Lapadula. The first goal of the season by the Italian-Peruvian striker, deployed as a starter by David Nicholasallows the Cagliari to beat the Cremonese in the round of 32 of the Italian CupAt Unipol Domus, a match largely forgotten by the home team ended 1-0, having come close to a bigger result on several occasions and with this success they dispelled the city’s discontent over the disappointing results achieved in the championship.
The grey-red team, coached by John Stroppa and currently fourth in the Serie B championship, despite never really coming close to an away win. For Cagliari, now, there is the Juventus: the Sardinians will visit the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium in the round of 16 of the national cup. The winner will meet whoever prevails between Fiorentina and the winner of Torino-Empoli, scheduled for this evening.

First post, then goal. The match winner Lapadula is the star of both halves. In the first, in the 26th minute, he hits the post with a nice volley on a cross from Zappa, one of the regulars confirmed by Nicola also for the midweek match. Set up by Augello on the edge of offside, it is then Lapadula himself who beats Saro and unlocks the game. Having found the 1-0, the Sardinians, who in the first half had wasted at least two great scoring opportunities with Azzi, manage to repeatedly miss the chance to double their lead. Lapadula does it, but the hunger for goals is too much for Luvumbo and Viola too: one, however, is enough for Cagliari’s first win of the season.
