Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Italy and Sweden.
  • 5' Italy are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Sweden's shape.
  • 10' It looks surprising Italy does not make any changes. Oscar Lewicki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Emanuele Giaccherini has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' Andrea Barzagli needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 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 Markus Berg suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Italy currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 40' Antonio Candreva is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sweden tonight.
  • 45' Eder has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 50' Sweden are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 59' Another substitution for Italy to replace Graziano Pelle by Simone Zaza on 59 minute.
  • 64' With 0 assists to his name this season, Daniele De Rossi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sweden.
  • 69' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Daniele De Rossi.
  • 74' Another change for Italy made on 74 minute. Daniele De Rossi leaves to be changed by Thiago Motta.
  • 79' The crowd applauds Albin Ekdal as he leaves the pitch. Oscar Lewicki steps in for Sweden.
  • 84' Over 84 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Stefano Sturaro. He replaces Alessandro Florenzi on 85 minute.
  • 88' What composure from Eder! The Italy international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gianluigi Buffon.
  • It finishes all square. Italy and Sweden share the spoils 1-0.
