CAGLIARI (ITALPRESS) – The survival challenge between Cagliari and Lecce ends in a draw, with a goal on each side photographing an extremely balanced match between the sides of Claudio Ranieri and Luca Gotti. Mina’s goal opened the scoring in the first half, with Lecce having the extra man for a half due to Gaetano’s expulsion, then finding the equalizer in the final thanks to Krstovic. The first signal was given by Cagliari, in the 16th minute, with Deiola who pressed Pongracic well on the edge of the Salento area and unleashed the right-footed shot which, deflected by Nandez, slipped behind Falcone, but was spoiled by a previous touch with the hand of the Sardinian midfielder himself. The goal was therefore canceled and the draw remained, but only until the 26th minute, with the rossoblu finding Gaetano’s long-range shot from a corner which was deflected into the net by Mina in front of goal. Advantage for Ranieri’s eleven who thus have to manage Lecce’s rise, but the episode that changes the tactical direction of the match arrives in the 44th minute, with a direct red card for Gaetano who enters late on Ramadani and leaves his team in ten men. In the second half, in fact, the guests raised the center of gravity, with Ranieri leaving only Luvumbo as an advanced reference. In the 63rd minute, a great opportunity was created by the Apulians, with new substitute Sansone who crossed from the left to the far post and found Oudin’s volley which ended just wide. Many duels in the middle of the pitch and interruptions of play, with the Giallorossi finding the 1-1 goal in the final, with Almqvist’s progression down the right who eludes the Cagliari defense well and puts the shot into the area. cross which Krstovic pounces on from close range and ties the match with the winning tap-in. A goal that gives Lecce the verve to try to win the match, with the Salento players even hitting two posts a few minutes after the draw: the first from a corner, with Baschirotto’s third half; the second with Sansone, who hits a header but is stopped by the upright, effectively missing the last good opportunity to complete the comeback which would have meant mathematical salvation for Gotti’s men.
