The fortress of the Sant'Elia Stadium receives Palermo who look to continue a positive moment by defeating Cagliari.  Guys, imagine coach Davide Ballardini returns to Cagliari but with other team!!! Ballardini is the savior of Cagliari and the reason why they are still in the Serie A this season after saving them along former goalkeeper Marco Storari.

Here is the starting eleven formation from Cagliari by coach Massimiliano Allegri:

Cagliari:
Marchetti, Pisano, Bianco, Lopez, Agostini, Fini, Conti, Parola, Cossu, Jeda, Acquafresca


Here is the starting eleven formation from Palermo by coach Davide Ballardini:

Palermo: Amelia, Cassani, Bovo, Carrozzieri, Balzaretti, Bresciani, Nocerino, Liverani, Simplicio, Miccoli, Cavani

In the 34th minute, an assist by Andrea Cossu to Michele Fini who shoots from close range blasting Palermo goalkeeper Marco Amelia to the bottom left corner!  The joy explodes at the Sant'Elia!
Cagliari 1 - 0 Palermo

Palermo had more ball possession and in the second half was a constant pressing for Cagliari. Yet, the determination and survival mode from Cagliari blocked the efforts by Palermo.

Wow, guys, Palermo President Zamparini is mad with the referee.  Referee Luca  Banti does not grant two penalties to Palermo for a foul by Cagliari defender Bianco on forwards Fabrizio Miccoli and Edison Cavani.

Great performance by Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti making save after save.  Point is that neither forward Fabrizio Miccoli nor Edison Cavani could blast Marchetti.

At the end, Palermo could not find the strategy to conquer the Sant'Elia.  I think it is a sweet and sour result for Coch Davide Ballardini.  On one hand, Ballardini must be glad to see his former team doing well and sour because he lost the match with his new team.
