Cagliari, playing at 'home' in
Trieste, 800 kilometres away from Sardinia, eased their fears of
avoiding the Serie A drop with a 3-0 win over Catania on
Tuesday.
Cagliari were playing the first of their final three home
games in Trieste, a city near the Slovenian border, because of
an ongoing row with the Sardinian capital's council over their
dilapidated Sant'Elia stadium.
Goals from Thiago Ribeiro, Mauricio Pinilla and Victor
Ibarbo (pictured) secured an impressive win for Cagliari.
Maxi Moralez's stunning effort from the edge of the area on
72 minutes secured Atalanta a 1-0 win at home over Chievo and
moved them up to ninth place.
