Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Juventus FC gets underway.
  • 2' A stunning finish from Cristiano Ronaldo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 7' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 12' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 17' Both keepers have barely been tested. Juventus FC and UC Sampdoria are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 22' Daniele Rugani has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 27' 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 Wojciech Szczesny suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' Juventus FC 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.
  • 33' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Fabio Quagliarella makes it 1-1.
  • 36' A moment of madness from Blaise Matuidi on 36 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Juventus FC will be frustrated.
  • 41' UC Sampdoria are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marco Giampaolo might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 51' Juventus FC is showing some good football. However, Juventus FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 61' Juventus FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 65' Cristiano Ronaldo adds to his 3 season tally! Juventus FC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 67' Gregoire Defrel is ready to make an impact after coming on for Gianluca Caprari at the 67 minute mark.
  • 69' The whistle greets Mario Mandzukic as he departs to be replaced by Federico Bernardeschi.
  • 71' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Daniele Rugani.
  • 72' UC Sampdoria make a change. Gaston Ramirez trudges off to be replaced by Riccardo Saponara on 72 minutes.
  • 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Emil Audero made 458 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 82' Blaise Matuidi makes way for Douglas Costa at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Juventus FC.
  • 87' Jakub Jankto has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 90' UC Sampdoria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
