Atalanta mocked, Champions League moves away

Cagliari-Atalanta 2-1

A defeat that pushes Atalanta away from the Champions League and a victory that brings Cagliari closer to salvation (although now the Sardinians will have to face Inter and Juventus): è resounding 2-1 accrued in one of the matches on Sunday at 18 valid for the thirty-first day of Serie A.

Gasperini’s team, despite suffering its 10th defeat in the league (more than all the first seven in the standings), dominated for about 20 minutes, but then gave way to the excellent condition of Cagliari who lost only one game in the last seven and won on a comeback exploiting above all its huge heart.

The guests took the lead through Scamacca on 13' but Augello evened the score on 43' and in the second half Dea lost vigor until conceding Nicolas Viola's 2-1 goal on 88'. Conservative substitutions and concentration already turned toward Liverpool weighed on the Nerazzurri, who move away from the Champions League. Smiles Ranieri, who flies to +4 on Frosinone.
