- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' Tommaso Pobega is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for UC Sampdoria tonight.
- 20' Claudio Terzi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 20 minutes.
- 24' Antonio Candreva makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and UC Sampdoria are in front.
- 29' Mehdi Leris needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 34' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Maya Yoshida on 34 minutes.
- 37' Diego Farias catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 37.
- 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Vincenzo Italiano will be considering his options from the bench.
- 47' Spezia Calcio is showing some good football. However, Spezia Calcio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
