Match report

Cagliari took all three points at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Udinese in the fifth round of Serie A. The away side kept their unbeaten run to four matches while the hosts fell to a third defeat in five games.

The decisive moment came in the 54th minute when Daniel Maldini found himself in space inside the box and fired past the goalkeeper. Udinese had pushed for an equaliser but Cagliari's defence held firm after the break. The visitors were reduced to ten men in the second half when Jesper Karlström picked up a booking in the 22nd minute.

The statistics told the story of Udinese's frustration. They dominated possession at 65 per cent and created 2.13 expected goals, yet managed only five shots on target from 19 attempts. Cagliari had just 35 per cent of the ball and 1.12 expected goals, but their two shots on target found the back of the net. And here's the thing — many shots with one goal means chances went begging.

Udinese now sit 13th in the table with four points from five matches, while Cagliari have climbed to fourth with twelve points. The hosts have lost three of their last five league games, including heavy defeats against Inter and Lazio. Cagliari's form has been more consistent, with only one loss in their five outings so far.
