Elia Caprile was again decisive in goal for Cagliari to earn an impressive point away to Nico Paz’s Como, although Alvaro Morata lost his temper.

The hosts are unbeaten since August 30 and fresh off a positive 0-0 draw with leaders Napoli . Sergi Roberto, Edoardo Goldaniga and Alberto Dossena were out of action, with Marc Oliver Kempf carrying an ankle knock. The Sardinians were without victory since September 19, scraping two points in the last six rounds. Alessandro Deiola, Marko Rog, Joseph Liteta, Andrea Belotti, Giuseppe Ciocci and Nicola Pintus didn’t make the trip.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

It was Cagliari who surprisingly had the ball in the net first on 19 minutes when Marco Palestra was trying to volley it across for a tap-in, but it took a big deflection off Alex Valle to wrong-foot Jean Butez. However, it was disallowed following an on-field VAR review for Palestra’s foul in the build-up on Valle.

Jayden Addai just failed to connect with a dangerous Maxi Perrone cross to the back post, then skipped away from Adam Obert to force a tricky save out of Elia Caprile at the near bottom corner.

Caprile also got down to push a sensational Nico Paz volley away from outside the area, but the Cagliari goalkeeper out-did himself with a stunning reaction save from point-blank range on Alvaro Morata after a corner was flicked on.

Caprile got his fingertips to push a Nico Paz scorcher round the base of the upright from distance, but Morata lost his temper with Yerry Mina, was booked for a shoulder-barge, and then immediately urged Cesc Fabregas to substitute him, because he realised that this was a losing battle.

Butez rushed off his line to deny Zito Luvumbo from close range, as Como failed to break down Cagliari and ran some risks late on too.
