Events
Match Events
- 0' AS Roma have kicked off against Cagliari Calcio. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' The 33-year-old Babis Lykogiannis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' Felix Afena-Gyan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 542 appearances.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 23' Sergio Oliveira is having his name booked by the referee on 23.
- 26' Leonardo Pavoletti is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
- 27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andrea Carboni.
- 32' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Dalbert Henrique.
- 33' That is a Yellow card for Cagliari Calcio. Dalbert Henrique will be fuming at that decision.
- 33' Sergio Oliveira doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 38' AS Roma looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Emanuele Lulli scoring 1 goals.
- 39' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gianluca Mancini on 39.
- 44' 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 Gianluca Mancini suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joao Pedro Galvao, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Olimpico, Rome with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriele Zappa made 500 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' Controversy at the stadium! Felix Afena-Gyan argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 63' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 68' 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.
- 69' Nahitan Nandez is replacing Gaston Pereiro for the Cagliari Calcio side.
- 70' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Giorgio Altare on 70 minutes.
- 75' The AS Roma manager makes a substitution. Felix Afena-Gyan departs to be replaced by Eldor Shomurodov.
- 80' Babis Lykogiannis is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dalbert Henrique at the 80 minute mark.
- 85' Tammy Abraham is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cagliari Calcio tonight.
- 86' A tactical swap from AS Roma — Rick Karsdorp on, Nicolo Zaniolo off on 86 minutes.
- 89' A change in the Cagliari Calcio ranks — Giorgio Altare exits the field as Luca Gagliano enters on 89.
- 90' Jordan Veretout makes way for Edoardo Bove at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from AS Roma.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AS Roma players.
