Cagliari also goes down at Sant'Elias

The battleship Cagliari stops again. The Rossoblu stumbled in their second consecutive defeat after the Cesena knockout, their first ever at home: Novara surprisingly won 1-0 at the Sant’Elia, thanks to Gonzalez’s goal, a nice diagonal shot at 36′.
The Sardinians, in 10 from the half-hour mark due to a double yellow card to Fossati (both for a foul on Lanzafame), maintained sterile ball possession, shooting on goal just twice over the ninety minutes. However, the hosts protested at length in the 47′ for a penalty not awarded for landing Joao Pedro in the box.
The leader’s drop gives a great chance to Crotone, who if they win Tuesday in Livorno will clinch the top spot in the cadetteria. Instead, the Piedmontese with this result climb to 46 points, hooking up with Cesena in fourth place.
