Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti told Fabio Pisacane that his Cagliari team are "good at wasting time", as he explained why they both received red cards at the end of Sunday's game.

Cagliari held Juve to a 1-1 draw in Serie A, with Randal Kolo Muani dragging the Bianconeri level in the 81st minute.

The home side had gone ahead through Daniel Maldini's 20th-minute goal, though that came from one of just four shots that Cagliari had.

Juve had 71.7% possession, 22 shots, got 10 of those on target and generated chances worth 1.95 expected goals in total.

At full-time, tempers boiled over between the two coaches on the touchline, with the pair both seeing red. Spalletti, though, insisted there was not much to it.

"Nothing happened. I told him they play good football and are good at wasting time, he said what do you mean wasting time, and they kicked us both out," Spalletti told DAZN, as quoted by Football Italia.

"It was nothing major, all pretty normal."

Juve sit sixth in Serie A, five points behind leaders Inter.

The Bianconeri have drawn three of their last six away games in Serie A (W2 D3 L1), as many as they had in their previous 17 away matches in the competition (W9 D3 L5).

In fact, since Spalletti's arrival on the bench in November 2025, only Fiorentina (12) have drawn more Serie A matches than Juventus (11).

But Spalletti feels his team are on the right track.

“The important thing is to have the right determination and mental strength," he said.

"I am not looking at the result, I am looking at the fact I am nearly 70 years old and want to end my career on a strong note.

"I want to do well, I am not thinking about the result, because it was a good performance and the lads need to be told that.

"If they always play like this, I am convinced we will win many more games."
