Cagliari secured their first Serie A victory of the season on Sunday, thanks to a convincing 2-1 home win over Parma. The match was a tightly contested affair from start to finish, but Cagliari emerged victorious in the end.
The visitors started brightly and created several chances early on, but Parma's defense stood firm. However, in the second half, Cagliari took control of the game and began to dominate possession. They found the breakthrough just before the hour mark when a corner kick was met by a header from Domenico Di Matteo, who slotted the ball into the back of the net.
Parma responded well to the setback, however, and had several chances to level the scoreline. But Cagliari's defensive solidity proved too much for them to overcome, and they held onto their lead until the final whistle.
For Cagliari, this result is a significant boost ahead of the upcoming matches. They have now registered their first win of the season, and will be looking to build on this momentum going forward. Meanwhile, Parma will be disappointed not to take all three points, but they can take heart from the fact that they put up a good fight against a strong opponent.
Overall, it was a solid display from both teams, but Cagliari came out on top with a convincing performance at home. It will be interesting to see how this result impacts their form moving forward.
