Cagliari thrashed Sampdoria in Serie A, with only a red card for Luca Rossettini blighting a fantastic performance.
Cagliari dispatched Sampdoria with relative ease in a rather tame match in Serie A, played in a cavernous stadium devoid of atmosphere.
The home side had Victor Ibarbo and Andrea Cossu to thank – the former grabbed a hat-trick, with two of those goals assisted by the latter.
The only blot on the Cagliari copybook was an injury time red card to Luca Rossettini, who brought Elber down as he ran through on goal.
Maxi Lopez fired home the resultant penalty for Sampdoria, but it was a mere consolation strike for the visitors.
