Marco Sau halts Cagliari's nine-game scoreless streak in win

Marco Sau ended a nine-game scoreless streak by grabbing Cagliari's winner against Udinese.

The game at Stadio Sant'Elia began with the hosts just one point above the Zebrette in the Serie A table but they banked another three and moved towards mid-table security with a 2-1 success.

Diego Farias put the Rossoblu in front after 35 minutes, drawing a penalty from Orestis Karnezis and converting himself.

Seko Fofana levelled from 20 yards six minutes into the second half, firing home after the ball was half-heartedly cleared.

Sau won it for Cagliari just before the hour mark, showing quick feet from close range to divert Mauricio Isla's cutback over the line.
