Cagliari vs Juventus finished 1-1 at the Unipol Domus on Sunday night, with Randal Kolo Muani scoring his first Serie A goal for Juventus in the 81st minute to cancel out Daniel Maldini's 20th-minute opener, Football Italia reported. The draw was overshadowed by what happened after it: referee Matteo Marcenaro sent off both coaches, Juventus's Luciano Spalletti and Cagliari's Fabio Pisacane, for a touchline row moments after the final whistle.

Cagliari vs Juventus: how the match went

  • 20 minutes: Maldini gave Cagliari the lead.
  • The pressure: Juventus had about 70 percent of the ball and 21 shots but could not find a way through for most of the evening.
  • 81 minutes: Kolo Muani finally equalised, a goal that saved Juve from a defeat in Sardinia.

For Juventus fans in Pakistan, who watched the late game after midnight PKT, it was a familiar story this season: plenty of the ball, too few clear chances, and a rescue act late on.

The red cards

As the whistle went, Pisacane was visibly frustrated and speaking sternly towards the Juventus bench. Spalletti walked over and leaned in, shouting, before the two were pulled apart; Pisacane had gripped Spalletti by the elbow during the exchange. Marcenaro showed Spalletti a red card and then Pisacane moments later.

What it means next

If the red cards stand, each coach faces a one-match ban:

  • Spalletti would miss Juventus's home game against Lazio next Sunday.
  • Pisacane would miss Cagliari's trip to Monza.

Serie A's disciplinary judge usually rules on bans in the days after a round, so the decision should be known before the weekend.

Watching Serie A in Pakistan

Serie A's Sunday evening kick-offs fall late at night or after midnight in Pakistan, as Italy is three hours behind PKT in October. If you stream matches on a mobile data package, our mobile load tax calculator shows how much of each recharge goes in tax.
