Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Genoa CFC host Cagliari Calcio — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Razvan Marin is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Genoa CFC so far.
  • 10' GOAL! Mattia Destro fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 15' Kevin Strootman is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Genoa CFC tonight.
  • 18' Poor challenge from Mattia Destro. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 20' The referee shows Cagliari Calcio player a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' Eldor Shomurodov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Genoa CFC and Cagliari Calcio are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nahitan Nandez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Genoa CFC.
  • 45' Davide Zappacosta needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 29 Yellow cards this season.
  • 50' 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 Filippo Melegoni suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Genoa CFC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 56' It is a substitution in Genoa CFC team. Lennart-Marten Czyborra is replaced by Jerome Onguene on 56 minute.
  • 61' It is a cagey affair so far. Genoa CFC in their trying to find a way past Cagliari Calcio's compact .
  • 62' Another change for Genoa CFC made on 62 minute. Mattia Destro leaves to be changed by Goran Pandev.
  • 63' Another substitution for Genoa CFC to replace Kevin Strootman by Valon Behrami on 63 minute.
  • 68' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 70' Giovanni Simeone makes way for Alberto Cerri at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cagliari Calcio.
  • 75' The 26-year-old Gabriele Zappa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Genoa CFC. Eldor Shomurodov is replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 82' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 85' Gabriele Zappa has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
  • 85' Cagliari Calcio manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gaston Pereiro is hanging Radja Nainggolan on the field on 85 minute.
  • 90' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Genoa CFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
