Cagliari assistant Coach Diego Lopez and striker Marco Sau have admitted that they are delighted to have beaten Roma.

The Isolani claimed a 4-2 win over the capital club at Stadio Olimpico on Friday night, and the Rossoblu pair insisted that it was a hard-fought win.

“We were careful with their high defensive line,” Sau told Sky Sport Italia. “And then we tried to beat them on the counter-attack.

“We played a great game against a very strong team here tonight.

“We put our heart into this match,” Lopez added. “We played a very smart game.

“We were brilliant on the counter and certainly deserved the three points.”
