Dainelli getting his first chance through injuries, also Konan getting a go due to injuries.
Inside the first 40 seconds, Aouate slipped hurting himself but will continue. The first goal opportunity came to Cagliari after four minutes. Petrov's pass found Malbranque who ran at the defence giving Pazzini some space which he used once getting the ball to bag a goal. The next chance fell to Cagliari again. It came from an in-direct free kick which Hubschman took, he found a rising Pazzini who headed towards home but the keeper saw it early and caught it this time. On 20 minutes, Zonneveld's clearance found pazzini who ran down the left wing. Gamst Pederson and John were in the box and Pazzini aimed his cross for them, John's header was parried and cleared. 2 minutes later Gamst Pederson went down the left and crossed, John headed home but was told he was offside by the linesman. Minutes later Livorno broke, however Aouate saved and Hubschman cleared. John picked up a knock when the move started. Just into injury time and Cagliari learned that the scottish game approch they had addopted somtimes pays off. A central defender was closed down by Pazzini, he had no supposrt exept the keeper, he paniched and passed it to the goalie, however John ran in stealing the ball getting an open goal. Despite his pain he had scored.
half time 0-2
The away side are walking this, brilliant. However how will they cope, Aouate has been in some pain from when he slipped, and John has been in pain from a challenge, Livorno have a defender as well who has be limping, i am just consearned that they may uner-rate their opposition. Mintal comes on for John.
On 63mins Abeijon replaced Konan and Malbranque goes on the right wing. It follows the treand of the style of play they have done this half, defencive. Sesma also replaced Gamst Pederson.
Staight away, Sesma made a brilliant pass to Pazzini and he found Minta, his shot took a bizzare defection that ended up giving the ball to the keeper. In 71 minutes a Livorno free kick almost got lucky, Aouate came to take the ball from an attacker, but he hit it, Hubschman ho was standing on the near post cleared it.Almost straight away Cagliari broke, Pazzini found an attacking Mintal just onside with just one defender to pass, the keeper comited himself and from just outside the box Mintal slotted it in the bottom corner. On 87 mins, Malbranque made a deep cross, the keeper came for it, and it went in, however Pazzinigot the smallest of toches and it went in. Pazzini and Malbranque both have a cliam but it went in. It goes down to Pazzini.
full time 4-0
Cagliari have settled in quite quickly and Livorno cant be mugs, before this they were fifth in the league. Cagliari really are showing some nice football.
