- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Genoa CFC and Empoli FC has kicked off!
- 5' Empoli FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Henderson made 266 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Koni De Winter needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' It looks surprising Empoli FC does not make any changes. Andrea Pinamonti has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Genoa CFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Caleb Ekuban, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Luigi Ferraris with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 36' GOAL! Alberto Grassi scores on 36.
- 37' Lorenzo Colombo was booked on 37.
- 42' It’s high time Patrick Vieira made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alessandro Zanoli on 45.
- 46' Time for substitution for Empoli FC. Lorenzo Colombo is replaced by Christian Kouame.
- 51' The whistle greets Alessandro Zanoli as he departs to be replaced by Jeff Ekhator.
- 52' Genoa CFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maxwel Cornet is hanging Fabio Miretti on the field on 52 minute.
- 55' Another change for Genoa CFC made on 55 minute. Mattia Bani leaves to be changed by Stefano Sabelli.
- 60' Genoa CFC is showing some good football. However, Genoa CFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 65' It looks like no one’s ball. Empoli FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 67' Another change for Genoa CFC made on 67 minute. Patrizio Masini leaves to be changed by Jean Onana.
- 72' 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.
- 77' 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 Emmanuel Gyasi suffering a number of foals already.
- 79' It’s a booking for Empoli FC player. Liam Henderson gets a card.
- 81' Goal! Marco Silvestri scores his 2 goal in 266 matches.
- 86' It is a substitution in Empoli FC team. Liam Henderson is replaced by Ismael Konate on 86 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
