Cagliari grab three precious points at Unipol Domus, Parma beaten 2-0 | OneFootball

Fabio Pisacane's Cagliari secured their first victory of the Serie A 2025/26 season in front of their home crowd, defeating Parma 2-0 in the early match of the third round. It was a hard-fought game, in which the Rossoblu struck at key moments, leaving Parma only with the regret of some wasted opportunities.

Mina and Felici seal the Rossoblu's victory, Ducali still without a win

Yerry Mina, the goal-scoring defender, broke the deadlock in the 25th minute of the first half with a decisive deflection from a set piece. The Colombian's goal put the game in favor of the home team, who managed to maintain defensive solidity and not give space to the opponent's maneuvers. In the second half, Parma increased the pace, nearly equalizing with Oristanio, who hit the crossbar with a powerful right-footed shot in the 63rd minute with Caprile beaten. An incident that could have changed the game, but instead preceded the Sardinian's second goal: in the 72nd minute, it was Felici who sealed the deal with a precise personal action.

For Cagliari, it's a crucial victory, which brings the Rossoblu to 4 points in the standings and above all gives confidence to Pisacane, in his first year in Serie A. Parma, on the other hand, remains stuck at a single point in three matches, with the second away defeat after the one against Juventus. Pecchia's team showed good intentions but paid dearly for the lack of ruthlessness in front of goal. Here is the top of the updated standings after the first early match: Juventus, Napoli, Cremonese, and Roma lead with full points at 6, followed by Udinese and the same Cagliari at 4. Parma, on the other hand, is in the doldrums, along with Lecce, Verona, and Sassuolo.
