  • 26' 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 Tiemoue Bakayoko suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' Zakaria Aboukhlal has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 46' 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.

  • 61' The whistle greets Piotr Zielinski as he departs to be replaced by Andrea Petagna.
  • 66' Time for substitution for SSC Napoli. Faouzi Ghoulam is replaced by Mario Rui.
