Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana delivered an outstanding performance as Cagliari ensured their Serie A survival with a crucial victory against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium on Sunday.

Sulemana played the full match, dominating the midfield as Claudio Ranieri’s side secured a 2-0 win over their hosts. This victory places Cagliari three points clear of the relegation zone, with a favorable head-to-head record against their rivals at the bottom of the table.

The 20-year-old midfielder, who faced a similar relegation battle while on loan at Hellas Verona last season, where he scored in the play-offs to help them survive, has made 20 league appearances and scored two goals in his debut season with the Red and Blues.

With three years remaining on his current contract, Sulemana is poised to play a pivotal role in Cagliari’s future.
