  • 5' Bryan Cristante has been relatively quiet despite scoring 25 goals in his last 542 appearances.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. José Mourinho will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' AS Roma 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.
  • 17' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Paulo Dybala makes it 0-1.
  • 22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 27' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Fabiano Parisi.
  • 32' The energy levels are beginning to show. Paolo Zanetti might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 43' Goal! Filippo Bandinelli scores his 6 goal in 391 matches.
  • 48' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

  • 70' Empoli FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 71' Tammy Abraham puts AS Roma on the lead.
  • 76' It looks surprising AS Roma does not make any changes. Nemanja Matic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 82' A change in the Empoli FC ranks — Sam Lammers exits the field as Alberto Grassi enters on 82.

  • 89' The referee has no hesitation. Zeki Celik is booked for AS Roma — Yellow card on 89.
  • 90' The AS Roma bench stirs into life. Lorenzo Pellegrini is withdrawn and Mohamed Mady Camara gets his opportunity.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for AS Roma. Zeki Celik will be fuming at that decision.
