Injury-time strike denies Bari in dramatic promotion playoffRanieri makes fairytale return to club he first coached in 1988

Cagliari were under pressure at a foggy Stadio San Nicola where only a victory would see them promoted. The first leg in Sardinia on Thursday ended in a 1-1 draw; had Sunday night’s return game also ended in a draw, Bari would have gone up after finishing higher in the Serie B table (third to Cagliari’s fifth).
