Cagliari beat Arezzo 1-0 in the Coppa Italia Round of 64. Alessandro Deiola scored the only goal in the 23rd minute to settle the tie. A red card was shown before kick-off, though the official record does not name the player.
Deiola put Cagliari ahead just before the half-hour mark, and that proved enough. Arezzo saw plenty of the ball and tested the home defence, but they could not find an equaliser. Cagliari held on to secure progression.
The statistics show Arezzo's territorial control: they had 57% possession and 385 accurate passes to Cagliari's 292. Yet both sides managed only three shots on target, and Cagliari's one big chance scored was the difference. The expected-goals total for both teams finished at 0.00.
