Bologna Keep Clean Sheet Against Cagliari

Bologna extended their solid run with a controlled 2-0 victory over Cagliari in Serie A Round 8 at the Unipol Domus on Saturday, 24 October 2026. Under sunny skies and 20-degree conditions in Cagliari, the visitors' three-man back line absorbed early pressure before Nicolò Casale's second-half header broke the deadlock, with Federico Bernardeschi sealing the points from the penalty spot. The clean sheet was built on a commanding display from Casale, who was named Player of the Match, while goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski remained largely untroubled as Cagliari's four first-half yellow-card cautions and two half-time substitutions reflected a frustrating afternoon for the hosts.
