Coppa Italia: Cagliari folds Cremonese and flies to the round of 16 with Juventus

Cagliari-Cremonese 1-0

After Sassuolo's unexpected victory at home against Lecce, Cagliari respected the prediction and narrowly beat Cremonese (1-0) in the match valid for the round of 16 of the Italian Cup. Deciding the challenge at the Unipol Domus è a goal by Gianluca Lapadula in the second half.

The first chance for the hosts came on 18': Augello put in the center for Lapadula, who was anticipated by Saro with a handspring that ended up at the feet of Azzi who ate the goal from two steps. Nine minutes later Lapadula hits the post on the development of a corner.

In the second half, the Rossoblù take the lead at 60': Augello crosses low to Lapadula, who finds the winning deflection. Three minutes later the same Lapadula goes close to doubling but Saro denies him the double. In 78' Luvumbo gets away from two opponents but when he arrived in one-on-one with Saro, he eats up the 2-0.

With this success, Cagliari advances to the round of 16 of the Italian Cup where it will face Juventus.
