Italian Cup: 1-0 to Cagliari, Sassuolo in the quarterfinals

Sassuolo will challenge Juventus in the first knockout round of the Italian Cup: it is the first time in its history that the Emilian club has progressed so far in the tournament and it does so thanks to the goal of Harroui, a midfielder in his first year in Italy. Cagliari, in a very reworked formation, has always remained in the game, coming out of the confrontation with their heads held high despite the many absences, and not just for turnover needs. Fifteen even those in the ranks of Cagliari, thus forcing Mazzarri to field several young people including Ladinetti, Gagliano, Obert, Kourfalidis.
