Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. AC Cesena get us underway at Dino Manuzzi.
  • 5' Carrarese Calcio is showing some good football. However, Carrarese Calcio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 8' A goal from the Albania international Cristian Shpendi! He fires home on 8 to make it 1-0!
  • 13' 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 suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Riccardo Palmieri was booked on 20.
  • 23' The deadlock is broken! Cristian Shpendi gets on the scoresheet on 23 minutes.
  • 28' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 33' AC Cesena player sees a card in front of him.
  • 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AC Cesena and Carrarese Calcio are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 46' Another change for AC Cesena made on 46 minute. Marco Curto leaves to be changed by Andrea Ciofi.
  • 51' It is a cagey affair so far. AC Cesena in their 3-1-4-2 trying to find a way past Carrarese Calcio's compact 3-4-3.
  • 55' Goal! Nicolas Schiavi scores his 6 goal in 76 matches.
  • 59' AC Cesena player sees a card in front of him.
  • 64' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AC Cesena needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' It’s a booking for AC Cesena player. Giacomo Calo gets a card.
  • 69' AC Cesena manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Emanuele Adamo is hanging Joseph Ceesay on the field on 69 minute.
  • 74' A quiet spell here at Dino Manuzzi. AC Cesena seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Carrarese Calcio team. Leonardo Capezzi is replaced by Emanuele Zuelli on 78 minute.
  • 83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Carrarese Calcio that had 76 games and scored 45 goals.
  • 88' Italy international Marco Imperiale has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 89' The whistle greets Nicolas Schiavi as he departs to be replaced by Simone Della Latta.
  • 90' A change in the AC Cesena ranks — Cristian Shpendi exits the field as Simone Pieraccini enters on 90.
