Cagliari 1:0 Modena — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

A late Kingstone Mutandwa strike gave Cagliari a 1-0 win over Modena in a Club Friendly, with Michel Ndary Adopo named the standout player as the Sardinians now prepare to face 1. FC Union Berlin on 2 August.

The game appeared destined for a goalless stalemate until the 87th minute, when Mutandwa broke the deadlock for Cagliari, firing home unassisted to snatch victory from a contest that had offered little in the way of clear chances.

Despite the win, Modena controlled the match statistically, enjoying 54% possession and winning seven corners to Cagliari's none, though the home side held firm. Adopo, a midfielder, earned the highest rating of 7.77 without scoring, anchoring the play. CheckLive's model rated Modena the clearer favourite, but the result did not confirm that prediction, and live signals did not read the flow differently. Next up for Cagliari is a friendly against 1. FC Union Berlin.
