Pisa Claims First Win Despite Durosinmi's Red Card

In a dramatic match on Sunday, Pisa achieved their first victory of the 2026 Serie A season, defeating Cagliari Calcio 3-1 at Arena Garibaldi, Stadio Romeo Anconetani. The match saw Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi sent off in the 37th minute for violent conduct following a clash with Yerri Mina.

Despite being down to ten men, Pisa maintained a slender lead thanks to a ninth-minute penalty converted by Stefano Moreo. In the second half, Antonio Caracciolo scored twice, while Leonardo Pavoletti's goal for Cagliari was merely a consolation.

This win moved Pisa to 19th in the Serie A standings with 18 points from 29 matches, still seven points adrift of safety with nine games remaining. Coach Oscar Hiljemark, when asked about the red card incident involving Durosinmi, stated he did not have a clear view and chose to avoid controversy, reflecting a desire to focus on the team's performance rather than individual incidents.
