Cagliari secures historic Serie A start with victory over Udinese

Cagliari Calcio has achieved a historic start to the Serie A season, securing four wins in their first five matches. This performance marks the first time the club has achieved such a record since their Scudetto-winning 1969–70 season.

In their most recent match against Udinese on September 19, Cagliari secured a 1-0 victory. Forward Daniel Maldini scored the decisive goal, helping the team maintain their momentum. Despite recent media reports regarding a traffic accident involving Maldini, the club clarified that all tests were negative and the player remains in good standing.

Japanese defender Yukinari Sugawara, who joined Cagliari on loan from Southampton, contributed to the victory as a second-half substitute. Local media praised his ability to maintain defensive stability and control the game after entering the pitch in the 58th minute. Manager Fabio Pisacane expressed pride in the team's performance and the support of the fans, while urging the squad to remain focused and avoid complacency following their unexpected strong start.
