- 3' Scott McTominay adds to his 1 season tally! SSC Napoli lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 8' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 18' Both keepers have barely been tested. SSC Napoli and US Cremonese are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 23' US Cremonese started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 23.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering US Cremonese that had 157 games and scored 166 goals.
- 33' The 30-year-old Jari Vandeputte has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 38' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Alberto Grassi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 43' SSC Napoli have won 647 goals from 514 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 45' GOAL! Rasmus Hojlund scores on 45. Assisted by Matteo Politano
- 46' Alberto Grassi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Warren Bondo on 46 minute.

- 54' Stanislav Lobotka makes way for Billy Gilmour at the 54 minute mark. A tactical switch from SSC Napoli.
- 59' 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 Tommaso Barbieri suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Another change for US Cremonese made on 61 minute. Sebastiano Luperto leaves to be changed by Francesco Folino.
- 66' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 71' SSC Napoli 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.
- 75' SSC Napoli make a change. Kevin De Bruyne trudges off to be replaced by Eljif Elmas on 75 minutes.
- 78' Tommaso Barbieri gets the nod from US Cremonese. He replaces Youssef Maleh and will look to change the dynamic.
- 83' It is a cagey affair so far. SSC Napoli in their trying to find a way past US Cremonese's compact .
- 88' It’s high time Antonio Conte made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
