Napoli and Cagliari play a game on Saturday, december 16, 2023 at 17:30, the match takes place in Stadio Diego Armando Maradona of Napoli, the meeting It is Serie A.
Napoli defeated Cagliari by 2 goals to 1. The goals for Napoli were scored by K. Kvaratskhelia at 75 minutes, V. Osimhen at 69 minutes while for Cagliari they scored L. Pavoletti at 72 minutes.
Commentaries
A tight and cagey affair at the Maradona burst into life with 21 minutes to go, with three goals in a six-minute span enough to give Napoli a 2-1 win. Rrahmani’s header that struck the post on 29 minutes was the best chance of the match until well after the hour-mark, when Osimhen took the lead for his side with a well-timed header thanks to an inch-perfect Rui assist. Despite precious little attacking play from Cagliari throughout the game, the lead lasted for just three minutes before Pavoletti pulled one back for the Sardenians, with his close-range finish beating Meret after a Luvumbo cross. Not to be outdone, the hosts would, themselves, need just 180 seconds to wrestle back the lead, with Osimhen setting up team-mate Kvaratskhelia with a quarter-hour remaining. The Partenopei thought they had increased the margin of victory late on but Politano’s goal was chalked off for offside; a decision which wouldn’t ultimately influence the result. The win takes Napoli into fourth place ahead of a match against Frosinone in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday and a meeting with Roma in Serie A next Saturday. Cagliari stay outside the relegation zone but do not move from 16th before a game against Verona in the league in one week’s time. That concludes our commentary of the Serie A fixture between Napoli and Cagliari! We hope you’ve enjoyed it!
90'
Anguissa charges through the back of Augello and picks up a yellow card - the eighth of the ill-tempered game.
90'
Having just picked up a booking, Mazzarri is quick to take off Politano ahead of injury time. Zanoli is given a chance to hold onto the lead, with the right-back certainly more defensively capable than his team-mate.
90'
Lindstrom will see out the remainder of the match as Kvaratskhelia is protected and withdrawn.
88'
Politano loses possession to Augello near his own penalty area and is forced into a cynical challenge to prevent a goal-scoring opportunity. It’s a yellow card for the Napoli winger, while Cagliari are given a free-kick in a good area.
85'
Luvumbo looks to knock the ball past Rui and charge towards the byline but the substitute drops his shoulder and body checks his opponent, which earns the Napoli full-back a yellow card.
82'
Despite only being ahead by a goal, Osimhen is replaced with eight minutes remaining, to give Gaetano some valuable minutes on the pitch.
79'
A centre-back comes off for a striker as Lapadula is sent onto the pitch to partner with Pavoletti. Goldaniga, who was booked earlier, is sacrificed with Cagliari looking for a way back into the game.
75'
A THIRD GOAL IN SIX MINUTES SEPARATES THE SIDES! 2-1 NAPOLI! The frenzy at the Maradona continues, with Osimhen getting into the penalty area and occupying as many as four defenders with a series of deft keep-ups. The striker then turns and gets beyond Augello and Goldaniga before squaring a pass for Kvaratskhelia, whose first-time finish leaves Scuffet no chance!
72'
PAVOLETTI DOES IT AGAIN! 1-1! Less than a week on from his stunning overhead kick to claim a victory against Sassuolo, the former Napoli striker finds the back of the net again - this time against his old side! Luvumbo manages to get beyond Rrahmani and inside the penalty area before teasing a cross across the face of goal for Pavoletti, who manages to bundle it across the line in a rather unorthodox fashion!
69'
OSIMHEN BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! 1-0 NAPOLI! Rui involves himself immediately, getting on the end of Kvaratskhelia’s pass and immediately firing a dangerous cross towards the edge of the six-yard box for Osimhen. The striker rises above both Dossena and Obert and powers his header towards goal, with Scuffet getting a hand to it to push it onto the post before eventually rolling beyond the line!
68'
Oristanio is also recalled to the bench after largely failing to involve himself in the match. Luvumbo is his replacement and will operate just behind Pavoletti.
67'
Nandez has gone down off the ball and confirms with the referee he is in need of a substitution. Ranieri works quickly and sends Zappa on in his place with just over 20 minutes to go.
63'
The fifth yellow card of the match goes to Augello, for a cynical clip of Politano’s heels just ahead of the right corner-flag.
59'
An attacking move from Mazzarri sees a forward taking off a midfielder, with Raspadori sent into the fray for Cajuste.
59'
A change for Napoli one minute before the hour sees traditional left-back Rui come in for Natan.
46'
Jankto does not re-emerge from the interval, with Deiola taking his place in midfield for the second half.
46'
A change at half-time for the Sardenian club sees Obert come on for Petagna.
45'
Rrahmani doesn’t escape unscathed, with the Napoli centre-back also shown a yellow card; the fourth in four minutes.
45'
Tempers flare after the challenge, with both sets of players getting into a shoving match just outside the Cagliari penalty area. Pavoletti is shown a yellow card for his part in the fracas, which left Rrahmani on the ground.
45'
Goldaniga dives into a two-footed tackle and gets the ball but also the man on the edge of the 18-yard box. It’s a free-kick for Napoli while the Cagliari defender is shown a yellow card.
45'
Osimhen’s attempted overhead kick following a Napoli corner-kick catches the head of Augello, sending him to the ground immediately. It’s a yellow card for the striker - the first booking of the game.
