Result and Decisive Goal

Cagliari defeated Modena 1-0 in a club friendly match that ended with a single goal scored in the 86th minute. The scorer was not available from the match data, yet the strike proved enough to separate the sides. The contest took place under the Amistosos de Clubes banner and concluded after ninety minutes with no further goals added. This late winner came after a match in which clear chances remained limited for both teams.

First-Half Flow and Corner Pressure

The opening period began with Modena earning repeated set-piece opportunities. Corners arrived for the visitors at the 8th, 8th, 17th, 19th, 33rd, 33rd and 39th minutes, giving them eight in total across the game. Despite this sustained pressure from dead-ball situations, no goals resulted before the half-time whistle. Cagliari recorded zero corners of their own during the same phase. The timeline shows both teams started the match without any cards issued, and the first forty-five minutes finished goalless. Modena maintained territorial interest through these corners but could not convert them into a lead.

Second-Half Development and Final Statistics

The second half opened without immediate changes to the scoreline. Modena added one more corner at the 67th minute, yet the breakthrough arrived from the opposite end. Cagliari netted their lone goal at the 86th minute through a normal-goal situation listed in the timeline. No penalty kicks were awarded to either side, and both teams finished without yellow or red cards. Possession figures, expected goals and shots on target were not supplied in the available data, leaving corners as the clearest statistical distinction. Modena finished with eight corners to Cagliari’s zero, while the home side claimed the only goal after a largely even friendly encounter.

The narrow result reflects a match decided by one moment rather than sustained dominance. Cagliari held firm through Modena’s first-half corner sequence and struck once when the opportunity arose late on. The outcome leaves both clubs with a single data point from this pre-season fixture ahead of further preparations.
