Luca Gagliano made his first professional start last night as Cagliari hosted newly crowned Serie A champions Juventus at Sardegna Arena. With only eight minutes on the clock the youngster had notched his first career goal, instinctively poking the ball past Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon. By half-time Gagliano had provided the assist for Giovanni Simeone to double the hosts’ lead and seal a positive impression to those watching. Coach Walter Zenga replaced Gagliano at half-time but goalkeeper Alessio Cragno was in determined form for Cagliari as they held on for an excellent 2-0 victory.
There’s only one more league game for Gagliano to feature in this season but hopefully last night’s display is a sign of what’s to come…
