The men of D’Aversa do not win from 16 games and fail overtaking on Lecce. Nicola remains at +6 on the relegation zone
The result, even preventable, rewards Cagliari which with the 0-0 of Empoli reaches 30 and closer the objective of salvation more and more. The Tuscan team of Roberto d’Aversa comes out among the whistles of his audience on a Sunday in which he had to take advantage of the internal draw of Lecce. Instead, he did not have the strength and malice to be reason for a Cagliiri supported by the sumptuous Mina and Absted, who came to Tuscany determined to take the point. He played only and exclusively for the goal and in the end he reached him keeping the third last place after six points. Better not to lose, it thinks of Aversa who must play several direct clashes from here to the end and will receive Venice. Lecce is only one point, but three points and goals are needed to stay in Serie A. As a game, compared to the Como match, the Tuscan have made a walk back. Against a team that has practically not attacked.

The controversy of the week that involved the fans of Cagliari (those residing in Sardinia), first excluded from the trip from the Prefecture of Florence, then readmitted thanks to the appeal to the Tar won by the lawyer Matilde Mura, has access even more the challenge that before the street makes the soul of Empoli a minimum of a minimum because Lecce failed to beat Venice. There are a thousand, to be exact 02, the Sardinians who have reached the Castellani Computer Gross Arena in Empoli. But the real show is out. Between fans, well -known Cagliari professionals, also the fans of the municipal councilor Nando Secchi, the animator of the banquet Maria Paola Cappai, who arrived from Pozzomaggiore aboard one of the two buses from which pig, sausage, ham, bread, cheese, red wine, sweets, all strictly made in Sardinia appear. The banquet is a postcard. Around everyone sings the anthem of Cagliari and Tazenda. Inside they make a lot of noise, accompanying with a non -vulgar Sardinian epithet but colored every name of Empolese footballer read by the speaker.
On the pitch
–
On a summer day, hot, the teams with the announcements announced. The only concrete ballot in the defense of Cagliari where Palomino gets another one -toe to be the owner and Zappa starts on the bench. Empoli has the first occasion after 6 minutes when Palomino Buca is surprised by cocoon that can only go to the goal, but chooses, wrong, a transition to the center. At 20 ‘Henderson, very active, tries from outside, but the shot is deflected in the corner. Cagliari controls with experience behind and then has the best, the best, which is everywhere and goes to close on all the lines of passage. At 27 ‘he defends a good ball but selfishly pulls, easy for Vasquez. At 38 ‘little ones fall to the ground in a contrast with Henderson, it is feared for the ankle, Pavoletti goes to warm up, but the Bergamo striker puts herself back on its feet. The last thrill is given by a great filter of Esposito for cacace, but the defense of Cagliari with a superb Mina as always closes. And the first half closes, not nice. But Empoli did not have the attitude of those who want the victory at all costs, Cagliari closed well, played for the peer and searched Luvumbo who, however, has never managed to overcome the careful Goglichidze.
Second half

The recovery begins without changes, but with Empoli more decisive even if violating on punishment goes close to the intersection of the poles. Empoli increases high blood pressure. At the 5th yellow for Luperto who goes into wary. At 9 ‘very fast feeling is in vain in the area, but saves the usual omnipresent adopo. Nicola uses the men of the bench: outside Luvumbo, Malino and Viola, inside Coman and Gaetano for a now fixed relay. At 16 ‘yellow also for Palomino who must stop the unleashed Esposito. Punishment that Sambia sends out just out, then Sambia sends the tips in the area with a filter and Caprile is good at foot on cacace. First replacement in 20 ‘also for D’Aversa: Ebuehi for Sambia. But a few minutes later Koaume also gives up who does not make it and Columbus enters. Changes continue. Inside Zappa, Pavoletti, Deiola, Solbakken. But very little happens. If not the yellow cards for Pavoletti and Augello and the final whistles for the Empoli players invited by the fans to bring out the attributes. While the rossoblù go to give the shirts to those who took two ships in a few hours to get here.
