Sarriball sinks Cagliari's hopes

Lazio secured a confident victory at Cagliari in Serie A, extending their dominance over the Isolani, who have been unable to secure a win against Lazio since 2013.

From the start, Lazio asserted control, dominating possession and creating early chances, with Ciro Immobile testing Cagliari's goalkeeper Simone Scuffet. The breakthrough came around the half-hour mark when Gustav Isaksen's low cross ended up deflecting off Alessandro Deiola into Cagliari's net, marking Lazio's eighth away league game where they've scored first against a team outside the top six this season.

Continuing their trend, Lazio extended their lead early in the second half when Immobile capitalized on Scuffet's save, slotting in his 200th Serie A goal from a tight angle. Despite Cagliari's quick response with Gianluca Gaetano's debut goal, Lazio maintained their momentum, as Felipe Anderson's deflected effort found the net to restore their two-goal advantage.

Despite Cagliari's efforts to mount a comeback, Lazio's third goal proved decisive, securing them three valuable points that lift them to sixth in the Serie A standings, just one point behind fourth-placed Atalanta. Meanwhile, Cagliari's fourth consecutive league defeat keeps them mired in the relegation zone, albeit still within reach of the teams above them.
