# Cagliari Edges Past Modena in Friendly Encounter

Cagliari secured a narrow victory over Modena in a closely contested friendly match, with the decisive moment arriving late in the proceedings. Kingsley Mutandwa broke the deadlock in the eighty-seventh minute to settle what had been an evenly matched contest between the two sides. The late goal proved enough to separate the teams in a match that remained competitive throughout, with neither side dominating proceedings decisively.

The result aligned reasonably well with the pre-match model's expectations, which had favored Cagliari with a forty percent win probability while giving Modena a thirty-three percent chance. Mutandwa's last-minute contribution ultimately made the difference in a fixture that could have feasibly gone either way based on the quality on display. The friendly served as valuable preparation for both sides, though Cagliari will depart satisfied with their ability to find a winner when it mattered most.
