Leonardo Pavoletti’s goal in the 30th minute, assisted by Z. Luvumbo, opened the scoring for Cagliari. Verona, with 56% possession, tried to respond but was stifled by a solid Cagliari defense. Despite having less possession (44%), Cagliari proved more clinical in attack. The first half ended with a yellow card for G. Zappa of Cagliari.
The second half was even more eventful. Verona accumulated three yellow cards (A. Sarr, D. Coppola, and D. Ghilardi, who received a red card in the 85th minute), significantly hindering their comeback chances. The final goal arrived in the 90th minute, with A. Deiola scoring for Cagliari, assisted by G.
