Parte male l'avventura del Cagliari nella nuova stagione. Un 4-1 interno al cospetto della Lazio che, nonostante le dimensioni del risultato, mortifica in modo eccessivo la prestazione dei rossoblu. L'episodio decisivo, che ha cambiato completamente la partita, si è verificato al quarto d'ora della ripresa. Lopez ha cercato di ribattere un tiro destinato a rete, e il pallone gli è rimbalzato sul braccio. Inevitabile l'espulsione e il rigore trasformato da Zarate (sorpresa della first day, looking his goal of 2-1). Until then, Cagliari was almost master of the game. In the first half of Larrivey a pole, and then the goals of that Argentine (finally convincing) seems to have put the meeting on track. After 1-1, in superior numbers, the biancazzurri climbed into the chair, and the Cagliari there was nothing left to do, goals also fischiatissimo ex Foggia and Pandev. Ill-fated debut, but the first hour of play, on equal terms, was very positive. The summary is cruel but it must be said that the expulsion is in my opinion exaggerated, opez crashed and this implies inadvertence in touching the ball with his hand. Penalty sacrosanct, no doubt, but really overstated expulsion. Alegre, however, starts from a well-played first half, the defense in order, Cossu as always punctual in placements and launches, and the assist for his nice goal Larrivey short, if it were not for the unjust expulsion would surely have been the game more balanced. Now next Sunday against Siena in the former and Giampaolo Del Grosso.
