Feliciani to referee Roma against Cagliari at the Olimpico

Source: Roma News

Ermanno Feliciani, of the Teramo section, will referee Roma against Cagliari on Tuesday 27 October at 20:45 at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma head into the match straight after a 3-3 draw with Napoli, while Cagliari, coached by Fabio Pisacane, are coming off a home defeat to Bologna. Roma are coached by Gian Piero Gasperini.

Feliciani's record with Roma is strong. In six meetings so far, Roma have won five and drawn one, without losing. The only draw came in a 2-2 result against Salernitana on 20 August 2023. Among his more recent results are Roma's 2-0 win over Verona and 1-0 win over Como in the 2025/26 season. His most recent match in charge of Roma was a 3-0 home win over Pisa on 10 April 2026.

Cagliari's record under Feliciani is far less favourable. In five meetings across all competitions, they have won once and lost four times. Their only victory came in a 4-1 Coppa Italia win over Frosinone on 23 September 2025. In Serie A, Cagliari have lost every game refereed by the Abruzzo official: 2-0 against Atalanta in September 2023, 2-1 against Udinese in May 2025 and 2-0 against Lecce in February 2026. They also lost 4-0 to Juventus in the Coppa Italia in December 2024.

Assistant referees Zingarelli and Fontani will support Feliciani, with Mariani as fourth official. Ghersini will work in the VAR room, with Camplone as AVAR.

Roma came from behind to beat Cagliari 4-2 at the Stadio Olimpico in their Serie A ninth-round match. Outlets agree that Nzola's penalty, awarded after a Pisilli handball, gave Cagliari an early lead, that Lulli and Pisilli struck to put Roma ahead, and that Mora and Malen decided the match late. Il Messaggero says the win moves Gasperini's side to within four points of league leaders Lazio.

The outlets differ on timings. Forza Roma dates the penalty to the 6th minute and Lulli's equaliser to the 11th, while GialloRossi.net gives the 9th and 14th.

Player ratings also vary. Il Messaggero gives Mora 7.5 and Malen 6.5, while GialloRossi.net and Forza Roma both rate Mora 7 and Malen 7. GialloRossi.net names Gollini the best Roma player despite two conceding and rates Lulli 7.5. Both GialloRossi.net and Forza Roma give Mancini a 5, with Forza Roma noting that Fadera exploited the space behind him. GialloRossi.net says Gasperini reversed Mora and Soulé's flanks at half-time, and that Mora changed the game after that. Roma News, meanwhile, says Malen's goal ended a run of three matches without scoring. Feliciani of Teramo refereed, according to GialloRossi.net.

Gollini praises Roma's group and predicts a great career for Lulli

Pierluigi Gollini spoke to reporters after Roma's 9th-round Serie A win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, saying the points were heavy and keep the club in contention. The goalkeeper credited the squad for its depth and commitment. The Roma stopper said the team has played many matches and that it is normal to lose some sharpness at times, but that big teams find a way to win even when they are not playing their best. He said the group is giving a lot of answers and that everyone is always available, calling it a great credit that should be recognised. Asked whether he expected Lulli to be so strong, Gollini said: "We saw him in training camp and we thought he had great athleticism. Many times we have told him that the quality of his choices will determine his career. It will be up to him to learn to make the right choices. He has his head on his shoulders; every now and then I have to remind him to defend because he likes to attack, but he is super humble and he will have a great career." On whether his own performances are a response to doubters, Gollini said: "I have played little in recent years, but in training I see myself, and my teammates see me. Obviously football is a world that moves super fast; if you do nothing, it seems you are finished. Even though I have not played, I have always been in an environment of great level. I am happy to have had this chance now, even though we are sad for Mile. We have to keep going like this."

Roma give players a rest day after Cagliari win, return to training Thursday ahead of Udinese

Gian Piero Gasperini has granted his Roma players a day off after the 4-2 midweek win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico. The squad will report back to Trigoria directly on Thursday afternoon, two days before Saturday's trip to Udinese. The Udinese match, counting for matchday 10 of Serie A, is scheduled for Saturday 31 October at 18:00. The break is a chance for the players to switch off and push towards the final stretch before the November international break.
