The decisive goal came from Daniel Maldini, from the penalty spot after a handball by Kolasinac, with a perfect finish despite it being his first Serie A penalty. Three wins in the first four matchdays for Cagliari: it is their best-ever start in the three-points-for-a-win era. 

🤦🏻 Kolasinac handball, Maldini does a Jorginho

Second penalty of the day, the second in Serie A. Deiola gets his head to it, Kolasinac, with his arm very high despite having his back turned, blocks the ball. Arena points to the spot on the field and Maldini steps up.

Jorginho-style run-up, little hop, and the former player scores. A huge goal by Maldini, his second match-winning strike in 7 days. 

🤫 Scamacca scores... and doesn’t celebrate

Scamacca made it 1-1 in the 41st minute. Clever from Scalvini to take a free-kick in his own half quickly and play it vertically toward De Ketelaere, who raced through on goal. Deiola deflected it into Scamacca’s path and he slotted it home across goal.

No celebration from the Roman striker, who simply urged his teammates to go and get the ball back.

😅 Mendy only scores against Atalanta

The match was opened by young Mendy, who seems to score only and always against Atalanta. A brace last year, a goal this time around too (plus one ruled out). La Dea were caught out far too easily by Adopo’s burst, and then Mendy did the rest with a sliding finish to beat Carnesecchi.
