- 12' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' AC Milan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' AC Milan 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.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matteo Gabbia made 515 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AC Milan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Fikayo Tomori has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 56' It’s a booking for AC Milan player. Strahinja Pavlovic gets a card.

- 58' The referee shows AC Milan player a card on 58.
- 59' The referee calls foul for Mike Maignan. He receives a card.

- 74' Cagliari Calcio started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 74.
- 79' The travelling Cagliari Calcio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cagliari Calcio that had 418 games and scored 284 goals.
- 89' 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 Gabriele Zappa suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Ibrahim Sulemana was booked on 90.
- The final score is 1-2.
