- 43' A moment of madness from Federico Davi on 43 minutes earns him a card. FC Sudtirol will be frustrated.
- 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marco Frigerio made 515 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
