Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AC Cesena gets underway.
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' UC Sampdoria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' UC Sampdoria 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.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alessandro Di Pardo made 506 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Luigi Cherubini was booked on 30.
- 35' Tommaso Berti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 35 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. UC Sampdoria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 57' It’s a booking for UC Sampdoria player. Dennis Hadzikadunic gets a card.
- 62' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
