- 30' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' It looks surprising ACF Fiorentina does not make any changes. Devis Vasquez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' It is a substitution in Empoli FC team. Faustino Anjorin is replaced by Liam Henderson on 46 minute.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 70' Nicolo Zaniolo is replacing Lucas Beltran for the ACF Fiorentina side.
- 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Empoli FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
