Talking about an upset!  


While most were expecting a victory from UDINESE, Cagliari decided to prove everybody wrong! AND I AM SO HAPPY THEY DID because I have been believing in Cagliari's salvation since the arrival of goalkeeper MARCO STORARI and coach Davide Ballardini!

So far, up to the second half, Cagliari is winning by 2 goals!!!!

Guys, this mean that CAGLIARI is practically saved from the relegation zone reaching to 41 points!  

Am I happy or what?  OF COURSE, I am.  Although I like Udinese strikers Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella, today, what it matters for me is the salvezza, the salvation of Cagliari! 

First goal is in the 48th minute after Cagliari midfielder Andrea Cossu sends an assist to striker Robert Acquafresca who shoots from the center of the box blasting  Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic at the bottom left corner. 

Guys this is a  cold shower at the Friuli stadium!  You bet Udinese goalkeeper is having a headache right now as well as Udinese coach Pasquale Marino !

Yet, I am so happy with this goal and for Acquafresca!  That's my guy!!  COME ON CAGLIARI!!!!! We can do it!!!! 



Then, in the second half. I had to get another cappuccino because in the 56th minute, Cagliari scores again!!!!  Is so much happiness possible???

Wow.  Cagliari midfielder Pasquale Foggia sends an assist to Andrea Cossu, the one sending the assist to Acquafresca earlier, my friends the FRIULI is just frozen when Cossu shoots from the center of the box to the top left corner!   WOW... I am jumping, celebrating because  if Cagliari keeps this result we are saved!!!!   UDINESE 0 - 2 CAGLIARI

                     

What a wonderful gift for "Mother's Day!!!"   I love it!!!!!!  Come on Cagliari!

Just superb!  Our beloved Cagliari goalkeeper Marco Storari kept a clean sheet!  Storari bloced the powerful Udinese duo strikers Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella!  Amazing!  Way to go Storari!  Thumbs up!
