Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Artemio Franchi, Firenze. Ninety minutes of football awaits between ACF Fiorentina and Cagliari Calcio.

  • 8' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 13' Leonardo Pavoletti is a natural centre-forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cagliari Calcio tonight.
  • 18' Adam Obert has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 429 appearances.
  • 21' Mateusz Wieteska adds to his 0 season tally! Cagliari Calcio lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 26' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 31' ACF Fiorentina 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.
  • 36' Cagliari Calcio started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 36.
  • 41' Cagliari Calcio come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Matteo Prati. He replaces Alessandro Deiola on 46 minute.
  • 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 56' It is a cagey affair so far. ACF Fiorentina in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Cagliari Calcio's compact 4-4-2.
  • 61' Michael Kayode has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 8 cards already picked up this season.

  • 65' The crowd applauds Nicolas Gonzalez as he leaves the pitch. Jonathan Ikone steps in for ACF Fiorentina.

  • 75' The Cagliari Calcio bench stirs into life. Andrea Petagna is withdrawn and Leonardo Pavoletti gets his opportunity.
  • 80' 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 Eldor Shomurodov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 86' ACF Fiorentina player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
