Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Diego Armando Maradona. SSC Napoli are looking to make home advantage count against Empoli FC.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' SSC Napoli are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Empoli FC's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 15' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Alberto Grassi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 18' Scott McTominay has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
  • 23' Empoli FC have won 239 goals from 388 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Saba Goglichidze, as he is very good at scoring at Diego Armando Maradona with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tyronne Ebuehi made 478 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Empoli FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 42' Romelu Lukaku is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
  • 47' SSC Napoli are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Empoli FC backline.
  • 52' 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 Liam Henderson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Goal! Romelu Lukaku scores his 160 goal in 420 matches.

  • 75' SSC Napoli make a change. Pasquale Mazzocchi trudges off to be replaced by Leonardo Spinazzola on 75 minutes.
