Cagliari – Hellas Verona

Cagliari’s home advantage proved insufficient as Hellas Verona snatched a 2‑1 victory, pulling the Sardinians down to fourth place with twelve points from five games. Verona, now sixth with seven points, improved their season head‑to‑head record, having won the only previous meeting between the sides. The Sardinians’ solid defensive display, reflected in a 5‑2 goal tally, was undone by Verona’s more prolific attack, which has already netted ten goals this campaign. Both teams remain within striking distance of a European spot, but the win narrows the gap between Verona and the top‑four cluster.
