Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Stadio Carlo Castellani. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Empoli FC and AC Monza.
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Empoli FC and AC Monza are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' AC Monza started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' Gianluca Caprari has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Empoli FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Sebastian Walukiewicz is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Empoli FC so far.
  • 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 46' AC Monza make a change. Matteo Pessina trudges off to be replaced by Roberto Gagliardini on 46 minutes.
  • 48' Poor challenge from Daniel Maldini. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 79' 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 Roberto Gagliardini suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' The crowd applauds Youssef Maleh as he leaves the pitch. Nicolas Haas steps in for Empoli FC.
  • 85' The Empoli FC bench stirs into life. Lorenzo Colombo is withdrawn and Francesco Caputo gets his opportunity.
