Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: SSC Napoli gets underway.
- 3' What composure from Adam Ounas! The Algeria international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 8' The travelling US Sassuolo Calcio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 13' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 18' 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 Kalidou Koulibaly suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' US Sassuolo Calcio is showing some good football. However, US Sassuolo Calcio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 28' Giangiacomo Magnani has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 33' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 38' US Sassuolo Calcio receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 38.
- 42' Amadou Diawara was booked on 42.
- 46' Mehdi Bourabia has so much to prove this time. He replaces Manuel Locatelli on 46 minute.
- 51' SSC Napoli ring the changes. Adam Ounas has done his job and it is now time for Lorenzo Insigne to step up.
- 56' The crowd applauds Amadou Diawara as he leaves the pitch. Allan steps in for SSC Napoli.
- 61' US Sassuolo Calcio started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 66' US Sassuolo Calcio 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.
- 69' Khouma Babacar gets the nod from US Sassuolo Calcio. He replaces Kevin-Prince Boateng and will look to change the dynamic.
- 72' Lorenzo Insigne has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 72 minutes.
- 77' Andrea Consigli has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 82' The referee has no hesitation. Kalidou Koulibaly is booked for SSC Napoli — Yellow card on 82.
- 87' Rogerio is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
- 89' Andrea Consigli picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- The final score is 2-0.
