- 10' AS Roma are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Cagliari Calcio's 3-5-1-1 shape.
- 15' Kingstone Mutandwa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 421 appearances.
- 20' Matias Soule has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 2 goals this season.

- 31' AS Roma are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 40' Poor challenge from Adam Obert. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. AS Roma and Cagliari Calcio are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cagliari Calcio needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 55' 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.

- 64' The whistle greets Adam Obert as he departs to be replaced by Tommaso Augello.
- 69' Devyne Rensch needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Red cards this season.
- 71' Eldor Shomurodov gets the nod from AS Roma. He replaces Artem Dovbyk and will look to change the dynamic.
- 74' A tactical swap from Cagliari Calcio — Razvan Marin on, Michel Adopo off on 74 minutes.
- 75' The AS Roma manager makes a substitution. Paulo Dybala departs to be replaced by Niccolo Pisilli.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Leonardo Pavoletti. He replaces Alessandro Deiola on 80 minute.
- 85' The 37-year-old Leonardo Pavoletti has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
