Cagliari, Torino in dull Serie A draw

Cagliari and visitors Torino drew 0-0 Monday, providing little thrill to the Sardinia crowd as the teams retained their mid-table positions in the Italian Serie A.

Torino substitute Simone Zaza and Andrea Belotti forced the only telling saves of the game in the second half at the windswept Sardegna Arena.

Il Toro had assistant coach Nicolo Frustalupi on the bench as Walter Mazzari was hospitalised with an illness on Friday.

The Turin side sit 11th on 18 points from 13 games while Cagliari are 15th, four points clear of the drop zone.
