Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between SSC Napoli and AS Roma.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' 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.
  • 14' A stunning finish from Stephan El Shaarawy — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 19' Robin Olsen, a Sweden , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 24' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 508 games and scored 640 goals.
  • 29' David Ospina has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 508 appearances.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Roma is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' AS Roma started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
  • 43' Another substitution for AS Roma to replace Daniele De Rossi by Bryan Cristante on 43 minute.
  • 48' 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 Jose Callejon suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SSC Napoli side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Edin Dzeko.
  • 56' The supporters are chanting for Dries Mertens. He replaces Arkadiusz Milik on 56 minute.
  • 58' Controversy at the stadium! Steven N'Zonzi argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 63' A quiet spell here at . AS Roma seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Alessandro Florenzi. He replaces Cengiz Under on 65 minute.
  • 68' The referee calls foul for Kostas Manolas. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Kevin Malcuit. He replaces Elseid Hysaj on 70 minute.
  • 75' Fresh legs for SSC Napoli! Piotr Zielinski comes on to replace Marek Hamsik.
  • 80' AS Roma player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 90' The Belgium Dries Mertens breaks the deadlock on 90 minutes. 1-1!
  • The final score is 1-1.
