Cagliari coach Gianluca Festa says their survival hopes are still alive after victory over Parma.

Cagliari thumped Parma 4-0 last night.

"The lads have become aware of what they can do," Festa declared.

"We've been working hard to get them playing to the maximum. Another step which has kept hope alive. That's the desire we always go onto the pitch with.

"My boys are good players, they've shown that today. Everybody played well today, and we're happy."
