Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. US Cremonese kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' US Cremonese is showing some good football. However, US Cremonese are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 31' Federico Ceccherini has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 36' 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 Matteo Francesconi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' 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.
  • 43' That looks like a foul for a card for Michele Castagnetti.
