Roma 4-2 Cagliari: Lulli levels with a header, Pisilli turns it around
At the Olimpico the two young Roma players engineer the comeback: Lulli equalises with a header and sets up Pisilli's 2-1, after Pisilli had conceded the visitors' penalty.
A night to remember at the Olimpico for two young Roma players. In Roma's 4-2 win over Cagliari, Emanuele Lulli and Niccolò Pisilli are the protagonists of the comeback.
The match takes a bad turn after ten minutes: VAR calls the referee over a handball by Pisilli in the box, and Nzola scores the penalty for 0-1. The reply is immediate. In the 15th minute Lulli, born in 2007, levels with a header from Molina's cross. Six minutes later, in the 21st, he sets up the ball in the box that Pisilli, born in 2004, finishes from close range for 2-1: the first-half mistake turns into a goal.
Late on, Cagliari find the 2-2 through Maldini in the 81st minute, but Roma close it out in two minutes: Mora with a header in the 85th and Malen in the 87th make it 4-2.
