Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris!
  • 5' Lennart-Marten Czyborra has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 233 appearances.
  • 10' The Italy Mattia Destro breaks the deadlock on 10 minutes. 1-0!
  • 15' It’s high time Eusebio Di Francesco made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 18' The referee shows Genoa CFC player a Yellow card on 18.
  • 20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nahitan Nandez.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 35' Genoa CFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cagliari Calcio backline.
  • 40' It looks surprising Cagliari Calcio does not make any changes. Eldor Shomurodov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' The 26-year-old Gabriele Zappa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 56' Jerome Onguene has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lennart-Marten Czyborra on 56 minute.
  • 61' The home supporters are growing impatient. Genoa CFC must find a spark to ignite this game.

  • 63' Another substitution for Genoa CFC to replace Kevin Strootman by Valon Behrami on 63 minute.
  • 68' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Genoa CFC and Cagliari Calcio are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 70' Fresh legs for Cagliari Calcio! Alberto Cerri comes on to replace Giovanni Simeone.
  • 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 77' Marko Pjaca is replacing Eldor Shomurodov for the Genoa CFC side.
  • 82' Miha Zajc needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 10 Yellow cards this season.
  • 85' Cagliari Calcio player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 85' The Cagliari Calcio manager makes a substitution. Radja Nainggolan departs to be replaced by Gaston Pereiro.
  • 90' The energy levels are beginning to show. Davide Ballardini might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • It finishes all square. Genoa CFC and Cagliari Calcio share the spoils 1-0.
