Overview

  • Lucas Da Cunha struck a 76th-minute long-range winner after Martin Baturina’s 14th-minute opener, with Sebastiano Esposito equalizing on 56 minutes for Cagliari.
  • Como climbed to fifth in Serie A and are now even on points with Roma, as Juventus stayed a point back after beating Pisa 4-0.
  • Coach Cesc Fàbregas praised his players’ mentality on DAZN and called the result a major step following a congested run of matches.
  • The performance followed a midweek 0-0 draw at Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg, extending Como’s strong recent form.
