Bitter Sardinia: super-Ibarbo, Samp defeated 3-1

The
day before the match the negative tradition was clear: 22 defeats, 10
draws and only 5 victories for the blucerchiati
in 37 previous games played in Cagliari’s stadium. This time, even
if the match was played far from the "Sant’Elia", the Sardinian
curse continues and repeats itself in the new and partially
impracticable "Is Arenas": in the closed-door stadium,
placed in Quartu
Sant’Elena,
the best defense of the championship second leg lets down is guard
and Victor Ibarbo, who has a really good day, punishes us.

Blurred.
Three goals scored by the Colombian striker wipe out the hopes of the
blurred blucerchiati, who found the final 3-1 only in the extra time.
Maxi López scored on penalty ending a period of 175 days without
goals and that is one of the few positive things of an afternoon to
forgive. «Cagliari played better than us and deserved the victory»,
honestly said the Argentinian after the match.

Episode. Delio
Rossi agrees with him: «This defeat must be a lesson for us, because
if we are like this, we must start worrying. We have to meditate on
it and I hope it will remain just an episode».
