Outstanding performance
Pisa•DefenderPisa delivered a commanding performance to secure a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Cagliari, with Antonio Caracciolo's second-half brace proving decisive. The hosts took early control through Stefano Moreo's ninth-minute penalty, but the pivotal moment came on 37 minutes when Cagliari's Rafiu Durosinmi was sent off for violent conduct. Playing with a man advantage, Pisa capitalized ruthlessly after the break as Caracciolo scored twice within two minutes (52' and 54') to effectively seal the contest. Despite Leonardo Pavoletti's consolation goal for ten-man Cagliari, Pisa's tactical discipline and numerical superiority proved too much to overcome, extending their positive run and further highlighting Cagliari's struggles on the road.
