With one goal per half, Cagliari won the friendly match at the Perucca stadium in Saint Vincent, the third of the pre-season training camp for the Eagles in Valle D’Aosta.
The scorers were strikers Lapadula at the start of the match (5’) and Pavoletti in the 30th minute of the second half.
A good test against a team from a higher category for coach Fabio Caserta, who was able to assess the work done so far and put the new arrivals to the test.
The Coach’s words:
“I am happy with the team’s performance – commented coach Fabio Caserta at the end of the match – regardless of the result, which matters little. During these friendly matches, regardless of the opponent, we try to gain playing time, and above all, we hope that no one gets injured, because with the heavy workload there is always a risk. We are doing good work; compared to Cagliari, we started a week later and we know the difficulties encountered at the beginning. In the first half, we made many easy passes mistakes, also due to physical and mental fatigue. In the second half, we did very well.”
