  • 26' A stunning finish from Lorenzo Insigne — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 31' UC Sampdoria 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.
  • 36' UC Sampdoria fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 41' UC Sampdoria is showing some good football. However, UC Sampdoria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' The 29-year-old Alex Meret has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
