Lazio returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, thanks to Gustav Isaksen\u2019s powerful second-half strike that finally broke the Sardinian resistance and a late goal from Mattia Zaccagni.<\/p>\n

Maurizio Sarri\u2019s side dominated possession throughout the first half but struggled to find a way past an inspired Elia Caprile.<\/p>\n

The visiting goalkeeper produced a brilliant save to deny Adam Maru\u0161i\u0107\u2019s curling effort and watched as Mattia Zaccagni and Toma Ba\u0161i\u0107 both went agonisingly close from inside the box.<\/p>\n

Cagliari, well-organised under Fabio Pisacane, carried a sporadic threat through Gianluca Gaetano and Michael Folorunsho, though Ivan Provedel was rarely troubled before the break.<\/p>\n

After the restart, Lazio upped the tempo and were rewarded on 66 minutes.<\/p>\n

Matteo Guendouzi teed up Isaksen on the edge of the area, and the Danish winger unleashed a thunderous shot into the bottom-left corner to make it 1-0. The Olimpico erupted as Isaksen celebrated his first Serie A goal of the season.<\/p>\n

Cagliari threw men forward in the final quarter-hour, with substitute Mattia Felici delivering a series of dangerous crosses and Michel Adopo testing Provedel from range, but Lazio held firm.<\/p>\n

Sarri introduced Pedro and Tijjani Noslin<\/a> to add energy late on, and his side saw out the remaining minutes with composure.<\/p>\n

In injury time, poor play out from the back left Cagliari in trouble and Zaccagni caught Caprile napping with a fine finish to wrap up the win for the Biancocelesti.<\/p>\n

The victory<\/a> offers Lazio a vital boost after a difficult spell, moving them back into the top half of the Serie A table. Cagliari, meanwhile, will feel frustrated after another promising performance that yielded no points.<\/p>\n
