Serie A 2024-25: Alessandro Deiola's Late Goal Helps Cagliari Beat Hellas Verona
Veteran striker Leonardo Pavoletti and Alessandro Deiola's late goal led Cagliari to a vital victory in their fight for Serie A survival, while Daniele Ghilardi was sent off for Verona. Both teams aimed to escape the relegation zone after recent defeats; Verona had lost 1-0 to Roma, and Cagliari was missing key players like Yerry Mina and Roberto Piccoli but welcomed back Deiola. Cagliari threatened on counter-attacks, with Razvan Marin assisting Zito Luvumbo, who forced Verona's goalkeeper, Lorenzo Montipò, into a critical save. Verona also suffered an early loss when Tomas Suslov limped off after treatment.
