What happened. Cagliari won 2-1 away at Atalanta, with Paul Mendy opening the scoring and Daniel Maldini converting a penalty. Gianluca Scamacca had equalised for the hosts before Maldini's spot-kick decided it.

• Mendy has now scored all three of his Serie A goals against Atalanta.
• Maldini's penalty was the first converted in Serie A this season.
• Atalanta were without suspended Gaetano and injured Hien and Sulemana.

Cagliari's win keeps their impressive start going, while Atalanta are left to rue a missed chance at home.
