Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Arsenal FC to score. At the same time, SSC Napoli does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Piotr Zielinski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' 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 Fabian Ruiz suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lorenzo Insigne made 508 appearances and scored 88 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' It is a substitution in Arsenal FC team. Aaron Ramsey is replaced by Henrikh Mkhitaryan on 34 minute.
- 36' What a strike from Alexandre Lacazette! The score is 1-0.
- 41' Arsenal FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 43' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Lorenzo Insigne.
- 46' Time for substitution for SSC Napoli. Nikola Maksimovic is replaced by Dries Mertens.
- 51' Jose Callejon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 60' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Amin Younes is hanging Lorenzo Insigne on the field on 60 minute.
- 61' It is a substitution in Arsenal FC team. Granit Xhaka is replaced by Mohamed El Neny on 61 minute.
- 66' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 68' The whistle greets Alexandre Lacazette as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
- 71' Another change for SSC Napoli made on 71 minute. Faouzi Ghoulam leaves to be changed by Mario Rui.
- 74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Petr Cech.
- 79' Arsenal FC is showing some good football. However, Arsenal FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 84' SSC Napoli started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 84.
- 89' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jose Callejon.
- The final score is 0-1.
