Events
Match Events
- 0' AS Roma have kicked off against US Sassuolo Calcio. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Giacomo Raspadori made 395 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 11' Pedro has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 11.
- 16' 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 Pegolo suffering a number of foals already.
- 18' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Maxime Lopez.
- 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 25' Gonzalo Villar picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 73' It is a substitution in US Sassuolo Calcio team. Jeremie Boga is replaced by Lukas Haraslin on 73 minute.
