Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Cosenza Calcio to score. At the same time, Palermo FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Gabriele Artistico needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 6 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' It’s high time Massimiliano Alvini made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Palermo FC is showing some good football. However, Palermo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' Mario Gargiulo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' GOAL! Niccolo Pierozzi scores on 30. Assisted by Valerio Verre
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cosenza Calcio that had 76 games and scored 84 goals.
  • 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 44' Niccolo Pierozzi is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 49' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Palermo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 52' Charlys is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
  • 56' Goal! Matteo Brunori Sandri scores his 26 goal in 114 matches.
  • 57' It’s a booking for Palermo FC player. Matteo Brunori Sandri gets a card.
  • 58' The Cosenza Calcio manager makes a substitution. Tommaso D'Orazio departs to be replaced by Giacomo Ricci.
  • 63' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 65' Goal! Joel Pohjanpalo scores his 48 goal in 541 matches.
  • 69' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alessandro Caporale on 69.
  • 74' Another change for Palermo FC made on 74 minute. Matteo Brunori Sandri leaves to be changed by Jeremy Le Douaron.
  • 75' Massimo Zilli has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gabriele Artistico on 75 minute.
  • 80' 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 Rayyan Baniya suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' Another change for Cosenza Calcio made on 83 minute. Simone Mazzocchi leaves to be changed by Tommaso Fumagalli.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Palermo FC team. Filippo Ranocchia is replaced by Jacopo Segre on 84 minute.
  • 89' Palermo FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Federico Di Francesco is hanging Joel Pohjanpalo on the field on 89 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-3.
