Cagliari wins first Gigi Riva Trophy

Cagliari beats French side Saint Etienne 1-0 at the Domus and wins, under the eyes of national team coach Gennaro Gattuso and Azzurri head of delegation Gigi Buffon in Sardinia to celebrate Rombo di Tuono, the first Gigi Riva trophy.

Remembrances and emotions at the center of the field dedicated to the bomber in the words of the two world champions before the opening whistle. Then the friendly. Decisive was the goal at 20′ of the first half just by the Frenchman Adopo with a beautiful left-footed conclusion.

L’coach Pisacane for over an hour insisted on 4-3-3 deploying the men from last season. Not yet ready were new signings Mazzitelli, Folorunsho and Kirsgoi (still unofficial the’purchase from Besiktas). Gaetano, Pavoletti and Zortea are also absent.

A good test for the Rossoblu two weeks before the Coppa Italia. For Cagliari it is the first international win of the preseason after defeats against Galatasaray and Hannover.
