Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Italy kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jorginho, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Olimpico, Rome with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Switzerland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 19' What a strike from Giorgio Chiellini! The score is 1-0.
  • 24' Italy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Francesco Acerbi is hanging Giorgio Chiellini on the field on 24 minute.
  • 26' Goal! Manuel Locatelli scores his 17 goal in 384 matches.
  • 31' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Switzerland that had 24 games and scored 32 goals.
  • 41' Switzerland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 41.
  • 46' Mario Gavranovic is replacing Haris Seferovic for the Switzerland side.
  • 49' Switzerland player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 52' Goal! Manuel Locatelli scores his 17 goal in 384 matches.
  • 57' Italy is showing some good football. However, Italy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' Time for substitution for Switzerland. Fabian Schar is replaced by Steven Zuber.
  • 63' 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 Nico Elvedi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Switzerland winning 100% of all matches.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Federico Chiesa. He replaces Lorenzo Insigne on 69 minute.
  • 70' The Italy manager makes a substitution. Domenico Berardi departs to be replaced by Rafael Toloi.
  • 75' Leonardo Spinazzola has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 76' The whistle greets Xherdan Shaqiri as he departs to be replaced by Ruben Vargas.
  • 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Breel Embolo on 79.
  • 84' Another substitution for Switzerland to replace Remo Freuler by Djibril Sow on 84 minute.
  • 86' The Italy manager makes a substitution. Manuel Locatelli departs to be replaced by Matteo Pessina.
  • 87' Another change for Italy made on 87 minute. Nicolo Barella leaves to be changed by Bryan Cristante.
  • 89' GOAL! Ciro Immobile scores on 89.
  • The final score is 3-0.
