Teen Scores Twice on Full Debut as Cagliari Beats Atalanta and Moves Clear of Drop Zone

The 19-year-old scored after 16 seconds and again eight minutes later, lifting Cagliari eight points clear of the relegation zone.

  • On Monday, Senegalese teenager Paul Mendy scored twice in his first start for Cagliari, leading the home side to a vital 3-2 victory over Atalanta in Serie A.
  • Mendy joined Cagliari last year from Senegalese side AS Bambey and made five bench appearances before coach Fabio Pisacane started him against Atalanta.
  • Withdrawn at halftime due to injury, Mendy's absence prompted substitute Gennaro Borrelli to restore Cagliari's advantage two minutes into the second half after work by Michael Folorunsho.
  • The result moved Cagliari eight points clear of the relegation zone, while Atalanta took a significant hit to its European competition hopes for next season.
  • At Estadio Olimpico, Lazio and Udinese drew 3-3, with Daniel Maldini scoring a late equalizer to extend Lazio's unbeaten home run to five matches.
