  • 0' We are underway at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Crotone that had 38 games and scored 46 goals.
  • 6' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mattia Destro makes it 1-0.
  • 9' Goran Pandev adds to his 0 season tally! Genoa CFC lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 14' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 19' 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 Luca Cigarini suffering a number of foals already.
  • 24' Genoa CFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
  • 28' A stunning finish from Emmanuel Riviere — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 29' FC Crotone player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 32' Antonio Mazzotta was booked on 32.
  • 34' Goal! Davide Zappacosta scores his 20 goal in 409 matches.
  • 37' Davide Zappacosta is having his name booked by the referee on 37.
  • 41' Poor challenge from Miha Zajc. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 44' Poor challenge from Goran Pandev. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 46' It is a substitution in FC Crotone team. Antonio Mazzotta is replaced by Andrea Rispoli on 46 minute.
  • 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Genoa CFC and FC Crotone are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 56' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Genoa CFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 58' A tactical swap from FC Crotone — Eduardo on, Niccolo Zanellato off on 58 minutes.
  • 59' Augustus Kargbo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Emmanuel Riviere at the 59 minute mark.
  • 64' It looks surprising FC Crotone does not make any changes. Davide Biraschi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 68' Ivan Radovanovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Milan Badelj on 68 minute.
  • 70' The referee calls foul for Paolo Ghiglione. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 75' What composure from Marko Pjaca! The Croatia international strokes it home. 4-1.
  • 76' The whistle greets Miha Zajc as he departs to be replaced by Valon Behrami.
  • 81' Genoa CFC 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.
  • 86' Genoa CFC make a change. Lukas Lerager trudges off to be replaced by Filippo Melegoni on 86 minutes.
  • 89' Fresh legs for FC Crotone! Denis Dragus comes on to replace Simeon Nwankwo.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
