The league had only six games left .
On 15 March 1970 , with Cagliari having climbed to the top of the table with only six league games remaining , Riva scored two goals to help Cagliari come back twice from behind in a 2–2 away draw against second placed Juventus ; his second , equalising goal came from a penalty , with only eight minutes remaining , and the result allowed Cagliari to maintain their lead over the Turin side in Serie A. Cagliari headed into April still in first place by three points , with three matches remaining ; in order to clinch the Scudetto , Cagliari needed to win their next match at home against Bari , while Juventus , who where still in second place , needed to lose away against Lazio .
