Cagliari were unable to make their early pressure count, so Luis Muriel’s moment of magic rewarded Atalanta before stoppage-time penalty drama.
The Sardinians dominated the first hour, with Berat Djimsiti risking an own goal when his deflection came off the upright.
However, Duvan Zapata’s header struck the bar and La Dea got the only goal with a trademark Muriel supersup solo effort.

There was still time for drama, as Cagliari were awarded a penalty, only for the referee to acknowledge via VAR that Daniele Rugani had kicked Marten de Roon instead.
