Cagliari caused a huge upset with their victory over Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo. “We needed a healthy dose of madness,” said Coach Rolando Maran.
Dries Mertens hit the upright twice, but it was Lucas Castro who turned in at the 87th minute last night.
“We must be happy with an extraordinary result against a side that had scored for 18 consecutive matches, but we stop them in their tracks,” Maran told Sky Sport Italia.

“We needed a healthy dose of madness in our approach and we managed it. I am happy to have given the fans this moment of joy that had been missing for so many years.
“Napoli have a lot of quality, but we believe in ourselves and worked hard to bring good fortune our way.”
Radja Nainggolan and Leonardo Pavoletti remain out of action with knee problems.
“Seeing my players attack and score at the 87th minute explains it all. We needed that bit of extra luck, which we got, and to ensure we were ready.”
