The battle for maintenance was at the heart of this Sassuolo-Cagliari this Sunday, on the occasion of the 37th and penultimate day of Serie A. The two teams were in tough conditions before this meeting, and are not certain to stay in the elite of Italian football, especially the locals. And at the end of this meeting, it was the Sardinians who recovered the three points, certainly the most important of their season (0-2). Matteo Prati scored the first goal of the match (71st), before Gianluca Lapadula doubled the lead from the penalty spot (90+1st).
In the standings, Cagliari climbs to 14th place (36 points) and ensures its maintenance, given that its direct competitors like Empoli and Udinese face each other at 3 p.m. For its part, Sassuolo is 19th (29 points) and has said goodbye to maintenance. Even if the other contenders for retention lose at the same time, the Neroverdi will not be able to leave the red zone.
