Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadio Renzo Barbera. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 6' Poor challenge from Pietro Ceccaroni. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 11' Supporters expect more eagerness from Charles Pickel, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Renzo Barbera with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 16' US Cremonese have won 161 goals from 152 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 21' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 26' It looks like no one’s ball. US Cremonese is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 28' A moment of madness from Paulo Dentello on 28 minutes earns him a card. US Cremonese will be frustrated.
  • 33' Palermo FC is showing some good football. However, Palermo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 38' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 43' 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 Luca Ravanelli suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' US Cremonese is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 53' Matteo Brunori Sandri has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 53.
  • 55' Claudio Gomes puts Palermo FC on the lead.
  • 60' Palermo FC are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against US Cremonese's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. US Cremonese needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 70' Palermo 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.
  • 71' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Matteo Bianchetti on 71 minutes.
  • 72' Matteo Brunori Sandri has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 72 minutes.
  • 72' Another substitution for US Cremonese to replace Manuel De Luca by Marco Nasti on 72 minute.
  • 73' That is a card for Palermo FC. Valerio Verre will be fuming at that decision.
  • 74' A goal from the Brazil international Paulo Dentello! He fires home on 74 to make it 2-1!
  • 78' That is a card for Palermo FC. Salim Diakite will be fuming at that decision.
  • 79' It is a substitution in Palermo FC team. Claudio Gomes is replaced by Jacopo Segre on 79 minute.
  • 80' The US Cremonese manager makes a substitution. Tommaso Barbieri departs to be replaced by Luca Zanimacchia.
  • 81' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aljosa Vasic on 81.
  • 85' Another substitution for US Cremonese to replace Michele Castagnetti by Michele Collocolo on 85 minute.
  • 86' What an equalizer from Mattia Valoti!
  • 90' Jeremy Le Douaron gets the nod from Palermo FC. He replaces Matteo Brunori Sandri and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Another three points for US Cremonese.
