- 15' What a strike from Dennis Johnsen! The score is 1-1.
- 20' The travelling US Catanzaro supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' 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 Samuel Giovane suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering US Catanzaro that had 113 games and scored 120 goals.
- 32' Filippo Pittarello with the second goal in the match!
- 37' Palermo FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 42' US Catanzaro 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.

- 69' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
