Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Palermo FC kicks off things out of here…

- 40' It looks surprising US Sassuolo Calcio does not make any changes. Jacopo Segre has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' 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 Alexis Blin suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' Goal! Joel Pohjanpalo scores his 39 goal in 530 matches.
- 46' The whistle greets Cristian Volpato as he departs to be replaced by Nicholas Pierini.
