Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Spezia Calcio gets underway.
  • 5' Petko Hristov has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 456 appearances.
  • 10' Salvatore Esposito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Venezia FC 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.
  • 17' Magnificent from Jay Idzes! That is 5 goals in 178 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 22' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Spezia Calcio and Venezia FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 32' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Paolo Vanoli will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 42' Venezia FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 46' The Venezia FC manager makes a substitution. Magnus Andersen departs to be replaced by Bjarki Bjarkason.
  • 49' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Giuseppe Di Serio.
  • 54' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spezia Calcio that had 228 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 56' Francesco Esposito adds to his 1 season tally! Spezia Calcio lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 61' The Poland Arkadiusz Reca breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 2-1!
  • 62' Nicholas Pierini is replacing Francesco Zampano for the Venezia FC side.
  • 66' The referee shows Spezia Calcio player a card on 66.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Spezia Calcio! Diego Falcinelli comes on to replace Francesco Esposito.
  • 71' 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 Joel Pohjanpalo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' Francesco Cassata is ready to make an impact after coming on for Filippo Bandinelli at the 76 minute mark.
  • 79' Spezia Calcio manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Przemyslaw Wisniewski is hanging Nicolo Bertola on the field on 79 minute.
  • 84' Fresh legs for Venezia FC! Mikael Egill Ellertsson comes on to replace Jay Idzes.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Mikael Egill Ellertsson on 86 minutes.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Giorgio Altare on 90.
  • 2-1 the final result. Venezia FC will be bitterly disappointed.
