Result: Cagliari 0-0 Chievo
Cagliari and Chievo could not be separated as the two sides fought to a goalless draw in Serie A this afternoon.
The first half was a tentative affair as neither side looked willing to take a risk that might backfire and result in them conceding a goal.
With neither club completely clear of the relegation battle just yet it was perhaps more important to avoid defeat rather than secure a win, and the way the teams set up seemed to support this philosophy.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first, with neither side able to craft a meaningful goalscoring opportunity to break the deadlock.
The result means that Chievo remain 12th in the Serie A table, nine points clear of the relegation zone while Cagliari are more precariously perched in 16th, just seven points clear of the bottom three.
