Cagliari won the Serie A Week 31 game beating Atalanta on Sunday 7 April 2024 at the Sardegna Arena in Cagliari, Italy. Ranieri’s team moves to +4 from the relegation zone, overcoming four teams (Hellas Verona, Empoli, Udinese and Lecce). Atalanta, on the other hand, moves away from the fifth place defended by Roma, with five points now dividing the two teams.
The match breaks the deadlock in the 13th minute when Lookman crosses low towards the center from the left-handed lane where Scamacca anticipates Scuffet with his tip, putting a dig into the net. Cagliari responded in the 42nd, with Shomurodov catching Augello in the area, who finished first-time with the left-footed shot, beating Carnesecchi centrally. In the second half the match saw the balance prevail but in the final, precisely in the 88th minute, Viola displaces Carnesecchi with a header towards the left post. The goal from Cagliari’s number 10 is the one that is worth the three points.
Atalanta took the lead in the 13th minute. Gianluca Scamacca defeated Cagliari goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Ademola Lookman.
Cagliari equalized in the 40th minute. Tommaso Augello defeated Atalanta goalkeeper Carnesecchi with a left footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Eldor Shomurodov.
Cagliari sealed the victory in the 88th minute. The goal by Nicolas Viola with a headed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Zito Luvumbo.
✅ Stats before the game: Atalanta have won five of the last six matches against Cagliari in Serie A (1P), scoring exactly two goals on average per game in this part, for an aggregate score of 12-5. Atalanta have won each of their last four away matches against Cagliari in Serie A – all under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini – and in their history in the top flight they have never achieved five away successes in a row against a single opponent. Cagliari have lost only one of their last six games in Serie A (2W, 3D), after a series of four consecutive defeats in which they had conceded an average of three goals per game, dropping to one goal per match in the next six matches. The match against Cagliari will be the third consecutive away match faced by Atalanta in Serie A, after the 2-2 against Juventus and the 3-0 success in Naples; since the beginning of 2024, the Dea have only lost away from home at Inter on 28 February (2W, 3N complete the partial).
