Scott McTominay’s early goal secured a crucial 1-0 victory for Napoli over battling Cagliari.

Napoli clinched a vital 1-0 away win against Cagliari at the Unipol Domus on March 20, 2026. Scotland international Scott McTominay’s early strike in the second minute was the sole difference.

Napoli entered the fixture in strong form, sitting comfortably in third place in Serie A. Cagliari found themselves in a precarious 15th position, desperate for points to avoid relegation.

The match exploded into life almost immediately. McTominay capitalized on an early opportunity, guiding a precise shot past goalkeeper Elia Caprile. This gave the visitors a dream start just two minutes in.

Following the goal, Napoli asserted dominance. They controlled possession with 67% of the ball, moving it with purpose across the pitch. Cagliari struggled to gain a meaningful foothold in midfield.

Despite Napoli’s pressure, Cagliari’s defense, marshaled by Yerry Mina, held firm. João Pedro received a yellow card in the 35th minute for holding. Stanislav Lobotka was booked earlier for rough play in the 17th minute.

Cagliari retreated to the dressing room needing a strong response and a tactical shift. Napoli, with their precious early lead, aimed to manage the game and secure all three points.

The second half saw Cagliari attempt to push higher up the pitch. However, they consistently lacked the attacking edge to trouble Napoli’s goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić. Cagliari registered no shots on target.

Napoli continued to create opportunities. Matteo Politano was particularly active, firing two shots on target during his 77 minutes on the field. Cagliari goalkeeper Caprile made four important saves to keep his team in the contest.

Substitutions marked the latter stages as both teams sought impact. Cagliari brought on Marco Folorunsho and Antoine Deiola. Napoli introduced Leonardo Spinazzola, Billy Gilmour, and Alisson Santos to maintain their slender advantage.

As full-time approached, the intensity grew. Mario Olivera earned a yellow card for Napoli in the 69th minute. Alberto Dossena followed suit for Cagliari in the 94th minute, reflecting a spirited but frustrated late push.

Napoli’s statistical superiority was clear throughout the game. They had 17 total shots to Cagliari’s 7, and a commanding 67% possession. Their expected goals (xG) stood at 1.77, compared to Cagliari’s meager 0.35.

This hard-fought victory further cemented Napoli’s position in the top three of Serie A, boosting their European qualification hopes. Cagliari’s struggle against relegation continued, with valuable points slipping away at home.
