This action ended with an excellent finish from the national striker, scoring the second goal for Cagliari to secure the victory at the legendary Bluenergy Stadium.
In addition, the images showed 'Lapagol' celebrating this goal in an agonizing way, so he did not hesitate to embrace his teammates and coach Claudio Ranieri.
