Martin Baturina opened the scoring early with a composed finish from the center of the box after Lucas da Cunha's initial effort was blocked.

The match turned scrappy in the final stages with multiple bookings for simulation and fouls, highlighting the desperation as Cagliari pushed for an equalizer. This result strengthens Como's position in Serie A while leaving Cagliari to rue missed opportunities in a match that showcased the fine margins at this level.
