- 20' 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 Stefano Sturaro suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Genoa CFC in their trying to find a way past Venezia FC's compact .
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
