Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. AC Milan get us underway at Unipol Domus.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Unipol Domus. Cagliari Calcio seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' The 20-year-old Davide Bartesaghi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 29' Zito Luvumbo has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 29 minutes.
  • 34' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cagliari Calcio and AC Milan are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 39' 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 Noah Okafor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' A goal from the Switzerland international Noah Okafor! He fires home on 40 to make it 1-1!
  • 42' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Mateusz Wieteska.
  • 46' A goal from the England international Fikayo Tomori! He fires home on 45 to make it 1-2!
  • 46' Gaetano Oristanio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mateusz Wieteska on 46 minute.
  • 48' That is a Yellow card for AC Milan. Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be fuming at that decision.
  • 53' A moment of madness from Gabriele Zappa on 53 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Cagliari Calcio will be frustrated.
  • 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' Yacine Adli makes way for Tommaso Pobega at the 59 minute mark. A tactical switch from AC Milan.
  • 60' Ruben Loftus-Cheek makes no mistake. The score reads 1-3 and AC Milan are in front.
  • 65' Pantelis Chatzidiakos has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 67' A change in the Cagliari Calcio ranks — Ibrahim Sulemana exits the field as Nicolas Viola enters on 67.
  • 68' Eldor Shomurodov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andrea Petagna on 68 minute.
  • 69' AC Milan ring the changes. Samuel Chukwueze has done his job and it is now time for Rafael Leao to step up.
  • 70' Time for substitution for AC Milan. Christian Pulisic is replaced by Luka Romero.
  • 75' It is a cagey affair so far. Cagliari Calcio in their 5-4-1 trying to find a way past AC Milan's compact 4-3-3.
  • 78' Gaetano Oristanio has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 78.
  • 79' It’s a booking for Cagliari Calcio player. Gaetano Oristanio gets a Yellow card.
  • 81' Gabriele Zappa makes way for Alessandro Di Pardo at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cagliari Calcio.
  • 84' Alessandro Deiola has so much to prove this time. He replaces Antoine Makoumbou on 84 minute.
  • 89' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cagliari Calcio and AC Milan are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • The final score is 1-3.
