Luvumbo makes his mark
The young Angolan forward has been gradually making his presence felt in Serie A, and his latest goal adds to his growing reputation.
With two goals and an assist in 19 league appearances this season, Luvumbo continues to be a valuable attacking option for Cagliari.
The win lifts the Sardinian club to 14th in the standings with 29 points, providing them with crucial breathing space in the battle for survival.
Meanwhile, Alessandro Nesta’s Monza side struggled to make an impact and will need to regroup after this disappointing result.
With the season entering a decisive phase, Cagliari will hope Luvumbo can continue his development and play a key role in their push to secure top-flight safety.
