The Giallorossi were left with ten men due to Celik's dismissal and never recovered: Rosboblu won 1-0, breaking the deadlock at home
The Giallorossi were down ten players after Celik's dismissal and never recovered: the Rusobellos won 1-0, breaking the deadlock at home.
In the 14th match, Cagliari won, which had not celebrated at Unipol Domus since September 13.The famous victim is Roma, overpowered both on the scoreboard (12 shots against 2) and on the field: 1-0 for the Sardinians, who took advantage of Celik's dismissal (55) for the last player (5) in the best possible way.The decisive man is Gianluca Gaetano, who takes over and decides the match in the 83rd minute, using Esposito's assist for a corner.
Roma stopped again, Cagliari returns to success at home: this is the response of Unipol Domus, who witnessed the 1-0 of the Rossoblu and the suspension of the Giallorossi.Gasperini lined up his team with Baldanzi as a fake new player and rested Dybala for the upcoming effort.However, it was a soft start for Roma, who struggled to get on the field and put themselves in danger.Cagliari, in change, were more insidious, with Folorunsho regularly supporting the manoeuvre, and the forwards moving all over the offensive front.They are the ones who create the most chances: Borrelli plays, while Sebastiano Esposito forces Svilar to deny.The second half was decidedly slower than the first half, ending 0-0 and without shocks.The second half opens with a game-changing episode as Folorunsho departs and Celik confronts him: Zuferli initially concedes a penalty, but the foul is out of bounds and therefore VAR's red card is decided in the 51st minute.Roma remain with ten players, and Gasperini replaces three: Dybala, Ferguson and El Aynaoui.Now, the game is completely turned around and it is Cagliari who become dangerous, with Folorunsho and Palestra challenging Svilar.Sardinia's goal came in the 83rd minute from a corner: Esposito crossed, Gilardi took the shot, and Gaetano beat Svilar.From here, in fact, there is no more play: a lot of nervousness, a lot of contact and too many long balls.Roma can't recover it, Cagliari rejoices and breaks at home after seventy-nine games: 1-0 at Unipol Domus.Pisacane rejoices, has risen to +4 in the relegation zone with 14 points, Gus regrets: Roma stands at 27 points, Inter surpasses them.
Gaetano 7 - Come in and change the game.First a succession of passes in midfield, then a shot: in the 83rd minute he decided the game with a score of 1-0.
Folorunsho 6.5 - He doesn't score and doesn't allow anyone to score, but his plays are decisive from every point of view.In the first half he was the most dangerous, demanding Svilar, in the second half he sent Celic and mentally provoked Roma out of the match.
Gym 6.5 - Gasperini of Atalanta did not give him much space, and who knows if this will motivate him more.The right lane is on fire, especially in the decisive battle, Ghilardi is mad and flees.
Sviala 6.5 - he kept Roma Romance for 80 minutes, with a good job and two good saves, he showed himself as one of the best assistants in this Series, when he was not on a good sheet.
Çelik 5 - He paid the price for his madness by burying Folorunsho at the beginning of the second half and spoiling a clear goal opportunity.He failed to contain it and following VAR analysis the red card came, effectively deciding the match.
Ferguson 5 - comes in and brings nothing to the move, rubbish ball after ball.
