Claudio Ranieri against Alberto Gilardino, a clash between two different generations and between two teams who however fight for the same goal: salvation. Cagliari-Genoa was a hard-fought match. At the Unipol Domus the Griffin loses a crucial matchand which however in terms of the rankings does not plunge the team into despair Genoa: the Gila team remains tied at 11 points in the championship in fourteenth position, with an important margin of three points over Hellas Verona which occupies the third to last position in Serie A. Going to Cagliari and taking home the full spoils was a difficult undertaking, considering that with the victory achieved against the Genoans, the Sardinians have lined up their third victory in eight days within friendly walls, considering the championship and the Italian Cup.
Guðmundsson clocks in, Pușcaș misses his goal
The magician Ranieri from the height of his wisdom got the changes right, with Nicolas Viola coming off the bench and thrown into the mix at an auspicious moment, the Cagliari goal bears the signature of the latter, but if we talk about magical powers the amulet of Grifone comes directly from cold Iceland, and playing with words we can say that Albert Guðmundsson maintains the necessary coolness in front of the goal to punish the opposing goalkeeper. The number 11’s fifth league goal is a strong and clear signal for those who didn’t believe in him at the start of the season. Unfortunately, the rossoblu striker’s goal is only useful for statistics, Gabriele Zappa decides to score the 2-1 goal in the 69th minute, his first goal in Serie A and uncontainable joy.
Cagliari loses 2-1 in Sardinia
The Genoa fans are less happy but they cannot reproach a team that right up to the last moment tries to trip up Cagliari, with an aggressive finish by the Ligurians who in the very last moments of the match have acolossal opportunity that falls on the feet of George Pușcașthe Romanian striker, however, is not glacial enough and allows himself to be hypnotized by the goalkeeper. On points, a draw would perhaps have been the fairest scorebut Gilardino’s boys were left with a performance as a compact team that tried until the ninetieth minute plus injury time and didn’t give up.
The championship is long and tortuous, hoping that Mateo Retegui recovers his physical form, with Guðmundsson you can sleep quite soundly, but Genoa need the three points in the next home match in which Verona will arrive at Marassi, the three points against the Scaligeri could already put an important margin between Genoa and the relegation zone.
