Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cagliari Calcio kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Nahitan Nandez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 17' That is a card for Cagliari Calcio. Gianluca Gaetano will be fuming at that decision.
  • 22' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 27' The travelling Cagliari Calcio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 32' Another change for Cagliari Calcio made on 32 minute. Zito Luvumbo leaves to be changed by Gabriele Zappa.
  • 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cagliari Calcio needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 42' named a 4-3-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-1-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 47' Youssef Maleh has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Empoli FC that had 380 games and scored 231 goals.
  • 57' With 0 assists to his name this season, Eldor Shomurodov is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Empoli FC.
  • 58' Empoli FC ring the changes. Mattia Destro has done his job and it is now time for M'Baye Niang to step up.
  • 63' A quiet spell here at Stadio Carlo Castellani. Empoli FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 69' What composure from Jakub Jankto! The Czech Republic international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 72' Another substitution for Empoli FC to replace Matteo Cancellieri by Jacopo Fazzini on 72 minute.
