  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Babis Lykogiannis on 35.
  • 40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christian Kouame made 418 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Bartlomiej Dragowski makes way for Pietro Terracciano at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from ACF Fiorentina.
  • 51' Cagliari Calcio 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.

  • 63' A change in the ACF Fiorentina ranks — Christian Kouame exits the field as Gaetano Castrovilli enters on 63.
  • 67' Martin Caceres has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 67.
