- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Lorenzo Insigne is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cagliari Calcio.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. SSC Napoli is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 12' Joao Pedro Galvao catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 12.
- 17' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Gaston Pereiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 523 games and scored 662 goals.
- 27' Belgium international Dries Mertens has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 30' Sebastian Walukiewicz picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 80' A change in the SSC Napoli ranks — Elseid Hysaj exits the field as Mario Rui enters on 80.
