Cagliari's Rafael de Andrade Bittencourt Pinheiro: Stops penalty Sunday in win over Atalanta

Rafael stopped both shots he faced, including one from the penalty spot, during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Atalanta.

Analysis:

Rafael didn't have much to do as Cagliari spent most of the match on the front foot, but he stepped up when called upon and guessed correctly as Alberto Paloschi slammed a penalty right down the middle in the 34th minute. Rafeal was filling in for Marco Storari, who was sent off in the club's previous match, but he will likely return to the bench when the latter returns Wednesday versus Juventus.
