Cagliari beat Atalanta 2-1 away after trailing at one point in the match. Paul Mendy opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Gianluca Scamacca equalised for Atalanta in the 41st, and Daniel Maldini's 61st-minute penalty proved decisive for the visitors, with the hosts unable to find their rhythm again after the equaliser.

Daniel Maldini's winning penalty deserves credit as it stands. But I look at things through a five-years-from-now lens, so I'm more interested in how he's been developed and used to get here than in this single kick. The real numbers show up later — this is a player worth watching patiently, not rushed to a verdict.
I've been following Cagliari closely these last few matchdays, and this win felt like real progress for them. They didn't unravel after conceding, and quickly won the penalty right after Atalanta's equaliser to keep the pressure on. Calmer overall than the scoreline alone suggests.
I don't want to judge this purely on the result. Structurally, Atalanta's press was working right up to the equaliser in the 41st minute. What broke it was a single lapse in judgement that led to the penalty in the 61st — I wouldn't generalise that into a wider problem; it should be read as an individual moment.
