Cagliari coach Mazzarri frustrated after late Salernitana equaliser

Cagliari coach Walter Mazzarri was left frustrated after Friday night's 1-1 draw with Salernitana.

Leonardo Pavoletti has Cagliari ahead before Federico Bonazzoli struck an injury-time equaliser.

It's difficult to digest this result," Mazzarri told Sky Italia. “The performance, beyond the fact that we had to score first, speaks of 15 shots against a Salernitana who only had one attempt and scored.

“I don't know how to give reasons for the draw, maybe we are afraid, even if we did everything to win. When we scored, we lowered ourselves, we stopped, giving the draw to Salernitana.

“We threw away two points. Any distraction always costs us at home. In the end, we had the wrong attitude. After the goal, we had to be more aggressive, more courageous.

“I'll talk to them tomorrow. Today, I would have expected anything but an exchange of attitude after taking the lead.

“Even in Venice we conceded goals in the last minutes. And today, we have done inexplicable things. Probably the position in the table scares us and blocks us."
