CAGLIARI, Italy — Relegation-threatened Cagliari gained a precious point by holding Torino to 0-0 on Monday in Serie A.

Torino was without coach Walter Mazzarri, who has left the squad temporarily due to health issues.

Torino won the previous four meetings, outscoring Cagliari 14-4.

Cagliari moved up to 13th, four points above the drop zone.

Torino is 11th.
