  • 25' Genoa CFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' 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 Albert Gudmundsson suffering a number of foals already.

  • 63' A stunning finish from Marash Kumbulla — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 68' The US Sassuolo Calcio manager makes a substitution. Marash Kumbulla departs to be replaced by Cristian Volpato.
