- 0' Welcome to Dino Manuzzi that hosts another battle between AC Cesena and US Sassuolo Calcio.
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' The travelling US Sassuolo Calcio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 24' Armand Lauriente puts US Sassuolo Calcio on the lead.

- 51' US Sassuolo Calcio is showing some good football. However, US Sassuolo Calcio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
