In the third matchday of Serie A, Cagliari obtained a victory against Lecce, winning 1-0. Daniel Maldini decided the match with a header in the thirtieth minute from a corner taken by Fazzini. The forward dedicated the goal to his teammate Kevin Carlos, who recently lost his mother. This victory represents an important turnaround for Cagliari, which had found itself struggling after a defeat against Inter.

The Cagliari team, led by coach Pisacane, dominated the match, hitting the woodwork twice and coming close to doubling their lead on several occasions. They fielded a 4-3-2-1 formation with Mendy as the lone striker. Despite their dominance, the visiting Lecce side only proved dangerous in the final minutes of the match.

In another match of the day, Udinese faced Lazio, with the Friulian team taking an early lead thanks to Karlstrom, who scored at the beginning of the second half. However, Lazio responded promptly, overturning the scoreline with two goals: Frattesi got the first, while Gudmundsson netted the decisive second goal late in the game.

Lazio, under the guidance of Gattuso, secured a 2-1 victory, thereby maintaining a perfect score in the standings. With this win, they climbed to the top of the table, alongside Inter and Roma.

Cagliari, along with their 1-0 win, revitalizes their position in the standings, while Lazio continues to gain momentum with their comeback. Both teams showed different performances, but the results are crucial for their standings in the league.

DAZN scheduled the broadcast of both matches, which capped off the third matchday of Serie A, generating interest among fans.
