Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AC Cesena to score. At the same time, AS Cittadella does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Cittadella is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' The travelling AS Cittadella supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Giacomo Calo is having his name booked by the referee on 15.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 22' Massimiliano Mangraviti is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' AC Cesena is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 32' Luca Pandolfi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Massimiliano Mangraviti made 114 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 42' AC Cesena started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
- 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AC Cesena that had 76 games and scored 51 goals.
- 52' AS Cittadella player sees a card in front of him.
- 57' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 61' The AC Cesena manager makes a substitution. Augustus Kargbo departs to be replaced by Elayis Tavsan.
- 66' Time for substitution for AC Cesena. Emanuele Adamo is replaced by Joseph Ceesay.
- 69' Andrea Tessiore has so much to prove this time. He replaces Simone Tronchin on 69 minute.
- 74' AC Cesena seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 79' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lorenzo Carissoni suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Mirko Antonucci is replacing Cristian Shpendi for the AC Cesena side.
- 82' The AS Cittadella manager makes a substitution. Francesco Amatucci departs to be replaced by Simone Rabbi.
