CAGLIARI-LAZIO 1-3 | HIGHLIGHTS | Immobile writes his name in the history books! | Serie A 2023/24

FEBRUARY 10 • YOUTUBE

Alessandro Deiola - Saddled with own goal versus Lazio Deiola won one of one tackle, had one clerances, and scored an own goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Cagliari.

Impact Deiola got the nod over Matteo Prati after five matches and inadvertently opened the scoring as he deflected the ball into his own net after a teammate whiffed on clearance. He mostly defended afterward. He has posted four tackles (three won), seven clearances, three key passes, and two crosses (zero accurate) in his last five showings.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriele Zappa - Decent versus Lazio Zappa had one shot (zero on goal), one block, two tackles (one won), and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Lazio.

Impact Zappa didn't put together a particularly eye-catching stat line but picked up stats across the board in both phases. He has assisted once and added three key passes, eight crosses (one accurate), eight tackles (six won), and 12 clearances in the last five matches, with no clean sheets.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Yerry Mina - Busy in Lazio match Mina won six duels and had five clearances, one interception, and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Lazio.

Impact Mina has started twice in a row since joining from Fiorentina and, while the overall level of the Cagliari defense hasn't improved much as they gave up seven goals, he had two positive performances, tallying two tackles (one won), six clearances, two interceptions and four blocks.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Tommaso Augello - Provides spark in Lazio game Augello registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate), one key pass, and two corners in 27 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Lazio.

Impact Augello played only the final portion of the game but still managed to co-lead his team in crosses along with Nahitan Nandez thanks to his activity down the flank. Paulo Azzi has started over him in four straight matches. He has logged 18 crosses (four accurate), five corners, three key passes, and four tackles (three won) in his last five showings.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Active against Lazio Nandez registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate), three interceptions, and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Lazio.

Impact Nandez played in his most natural role in the midfield and was energetic on both ends, pacing his side in deliveries, tackles, and interceptions. He has notched 10 chances created, 32 crosses (seven accurate), and 12 tackles (seven won) in the last six rounds.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Zito Luvumbo - Provides assist in Lazio game Luvumbo assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Lazio.

Impact Luvumbo came off the bench again but was dynamic in his cameo and slipped the ball to Gianluca Gaetano before a successful attempt from downtown, recording his third assist of the season. He's routinely one of the best attackers for his side, but the coach likes to use him off the bench. He has logged three helpers, five shots (two on target), five key passes, and 21 crosses (six accurate) in his last six appearances. Cagliari will face Udinese away next Sunday.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Gaetano - Scores versus Lazio Gaetano scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Lazio.

Impact Gaetano was the most productive man for his side in his first start since joining and found the target with a curled shot from distance. The good showing likely cemented his spot in the XI, also because he can take care of multiple roles. He has posted five shots (two on target), four key passes, and three inaccurate crosses through two appearances with Cagliari.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Scuffet - Gives up three to Lazio Scuffet recorded four saves, three clearances, and two punches and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Lazio.

Impact Scuffet was once again busy and under pressure and answered the bell whenever he could, but his defense conceded too many clear-cut chances, and Lazio capitalized three times. He hasn't kept a clean sheet in six tilts, where he has surrendered 14 goals and made 19 saves. Cagliari will face Udinese away next Sunday.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Pantelis Chatzidiakos - Suffers serious injury Hatzidiakos sustained a right tibial plateau fracture in training, Cagliari announced.

Impact Hatzidiakos will rest for a few days and then start rehabbing. He's not expected to have surgery to address the issue, but he'll be out for the foreseeable future. Cagliari added Yerry Mina in January, plus Adam Obert resurfaced in the past game. The duo and Mateusz Wieteska will absorb his minutes.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Lapadula - Rare starting opportunity Lapadula had two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 4-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Lapadula was handed his first start since December on Monday, but he was unable to make an impact. The veteran forward has seen only sporadic game time during the campaign (four starts, 10 appearances) and has scored just once. Lapadula will have to make more of his limited minutes if he hopes to feature more regularly for Cagliari.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Attempts five crosses Nandez recorded one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Monday's 4-0 loss versus Roma. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.

Impact Nandez started his fifth successive match Monday and continued to provide opportunities for his teammates by pouring balls into the box. Over his last five matches, Nandez has attempted 26 crosses (four accurate). While he has no goal contributions over the last five matches, opportunity continues to be aplenty.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Obert - Rare starting opportunity Obert had four crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Monday's 4-0 loss to Roma.

Impact After not appearing in the previous six matches, Obert was handed a start Monday and played the full match. Though the team's result was not ideal, Obert acquitted himself amiably. Accompanying his cross and corner total, Obert created one chance and contributed three interceptions and two clearances.
